LeTurbo Posted March 1, 2012 Share W at 7:21. At least I'm up from the double letters, but my times this year haven't been good. I'll have to GU from start to finish. Aaargh! Only a week to go: have to adjust the front derailleur, change the front tube, do a wash, lube the bearings & chain ... so much to do, so little time. 23km/h up 'bossie! Freaks of nature!

Baldrick Posted March 1, 2012 Share At least I'm up from the double letters,I've gone from A to AA in 4 years. I wonder how much lower I can go Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/112524-your-2012-cape-argus-pick-n-pay-cycle-tour-start-time/page/21/#findComment-1595907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still some people did it last year and I'm interested in how they managed to get in the start chutes again. I'm also staring in B and considering it.

I have heard that you take your chip off and join the queue again....... a buddy did it like that for charity last year which was based on distance (the sponsorship that is). They can't really spot one B number in between the masses........ the lack of chip makes you undetectable Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/112524-your-2012-cape-argus-pick-n-pay-cycle-tour-start-time/page/21/#findComment-1596462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't really spot one B number in between the masses........ the lack of chip makes you undetectable Definitely take the chip off otherwise you will be disqualified. But as far as I know you need an entry card to get into the chutes, which you won't have second time around.

Will have to consult and get back to you.....
