ok, tiny, bets are on - 35km/h up suikerbossie? let's see it - i'm also starting in a.

 

For 35km/h I think you would need Chris Hoy's legs stitched to Marco Pantani's torso circa 1997.

I'm scared just thinking about those numbers. Not the HR, I'll hit that easily - but I won't be going near that fast when I do :(

That looks about right for VA. Suikerbossie has a line at the bottom and the top. Looks like you have measured Chappies same as I do - from where little Chappies first kicks up to the viewing point.

Sub 5 minutes, 23km/h average more or less. The front of $ goes up a bit faster than that.

 

@Hearts - I started in E last year.

 

LOL - I went up there at about 18Km/h last year - started at 2:27:30 (91.09Km) and crested at 2:34:00 (93.08Km) = 18.5Km/h ave.

 

See you in the bunch Mr Nuge :thumbup: Thought you would have made SV.

 

Wonder if I applied for a racing licence, if it would help to start in Elites..... NAH! Lemmie chill with the boytjies in A. A for Awesome!

LOL! Dude, I seriously want a podium this summer! Got robbed (and was stupid) this last weekend. Doing league (read Elites) next spring and I know it's moer of a tough there so no chance of a podium early on.

 

Maybe here is my chance :ph34r:

oh, and a quick look at chappies has me at puke, puke, wheez, wheez, what are these birds flying around my head for? and suikerbossie is more: puke, puke, puke, triple wheez and why are the birds flying around my head talking to me, is that a starfish?

 

why do we do this to ourselves again?

@Tiny, as far as I am aware racing licences are not taken into account for Argus. They use the top seeded people in each category and work backwards! So applying for a racing licence will make no difference.

Maybe Keith could help you with the supplements. Not sure what use you'd have for meatloaf.

Started C last year. We caught B leaders in Glencairn. Winner of C did approx 2:51. Held onto leaders up Chappies (Just), but lost two min from base of Suikerbossie home. Finished in 2:53:56.

 

26.5 km/h average for Chappies from kilometer 78.7 to 83 and 18.5 up Suikerbossie.

Seeded VB this year
