Heckflosse Posted February 6, 2012 Share The weather forecast for the Argus weekend is looking rather hectic.Up to what windspeeds would you use deep section wheels?I also thought about wearing no socks to reduce the drag and put baby oil all over (all over) me to reduce the drag. Anyone tried that before?How did you go about checking the weather a month from now?

rob! Posted February 6, 2012 Share How did you go about checking the weather a month from now? I checked three sources: The link from the Argus website for the keen cyclsit with a training plan directly tailored for the world champs, I spoke to a Shamane and I bought a weather frog and asked hm for the forecast. So all that together should give me a reliable basis.

W@nna-BE Posted February 6, 2012 Share Start Group: T Start Time: 07:15 did 94.7 in 3h29 and yesterday Emperors (104km) in 3h14 is this a correct/good start time for me..... sorry i am still trying to figure out this seeding story hahahah Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/112524-your-2012-cape-argus-pick-n-pay-cycle-tour-start-time/page/13/#findComment-1578953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny K Posted February 6, 2012 Share The weather forecast for the Argus weekend is looking rather hectic.Up to what windspeeds would you use deep section wheels?I also thought about wearing no socks to reduce the drag and put baby oil all over (all over) me to reduce the drag. Anyone tried that before? You planning on doing it Borat style? Less wind drag over the kit with the minimal amount of kit on as possible.

Do not know if I should fall back to B or just try to hang on and off course 4 weeks of maximium effort training up to argus.

Cheese Posted February 6, 2012 Share Sounds like a pretty good/fair seeding to me based on the 94.7 Yes did Emperors in 2H47 last year and got a K seeding. You should add around 30 min to your time for the Argus.
