Joker Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I was wondering if you do the race in under 3 hours if you can still make assumption that you are on tract for sub 3 Argus. I know that terms and conditions apply - besides my mirror tells me that we are going to have a windless and overcast day this year.

But I WILL concur the weather It's all about the power of the collective
riaanb Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 In similar conditions add ten minutes to Dischem time - that's what my results tell me for sub three in both. T's & C;s apply.
Joker Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 no, my mirror tells me you will have a puncture Pessimist – may your mirror shatter to pieces with 7 years of ....
Wannabe Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Joker, the Ride for Sight is 116km, right!? I did it in 2009 (the year of the wind) in 3:02, Argus in 3:32. With the post mortem of what would have been if not for the wind, the majority of the clever guys said that my time would have translated to about a 2:50 without the wind.So yes, a sub 3 RFS should give you a sub 3 Argus (WEATHER PERMITTING :devil: )
Tiny K Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 no, my mirror tells me you will have a puncture What is up with you and your mirror? LOL
Frosty Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Based on my following times, I'd say it's realistic, but not guaranteed: 2007Ride 4 Sight - 3:12:58Argus - 3:14:38 2008Ride 4 Sight - 3:03:57Argus - 2:54:47

Got a D seeding for Argus
Trubie Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 its a difficult assumption to makemy take is, R4S "much" easier than Arguslast year in near perfect conditions in both - 2:43 R4S, 2:57 Argusso safe to say if you can do sub 2:50 R4S , sub 3 Argus possible
TNT1 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Hey. I just realised, we actually got Lotto money for this race last year. I must check if we did again this year. And it's on the ekurhuleni.gov.za website.
Frosty Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 One of the important things I learnt about the Argus is to get to Simon's Town on the hour (40Km/h average) and you should be set-up for a sub-3. Again, weather permitting.

Again, weather permitting. Frosty - we went through Simons T last year in about 1:05, its a bit of a challenge now with Boyes drive...........but weather permitting is the operative wordin the Argus
Zatek Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I take it that these are your group for Ride 4 Sight.
