2013 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour

Recommended Posts

The road works are moving onto the section between Kalk Bay and Clovelly, the only way to detour that section is to take Ou Kaapse Weg, A most excellent idea methinks

 

In 2013 it will be main road to Kalk Bay harbour and then, due to the roadwords progression, cyclists will need to swim to Clovelly. Make sure you have a pair of inflatable arm bands to tether to your fiets so as to get the swim over with quick quick.

 

Rumour has it RaceTec will be selling a shark-repellant transmitter combo-pack for those wanting to splash out on a new timing chip.

YES SIR :) very true!

 

34.5min is a big ask ... as per above, get lean and mean, then add lots of riding.

My first 3 tours were 3:55 - 3:24 - 2:55, so not impossible. But plenty time in the saddle.

 

(This was before I discovered girls and booze though, so I did have a lot more spare time...)

2;55 :) thats a good time! i would aim for something close :)

 

well, i have done alot more riding, alot more time in the saddle this year, including Panorama Tour and Tour of Legends, Argus 2012 was my 3rd race, my longest ride ever at the time and only the 2nd time i had done over 100km so i should be alot stronger next year if things go well :)

 

i also now have the "beast" :devil: :devil:
