andydude Posted August 30, 2012 Share http://www.iol.co.za...climb-1.1372434Â Even though I love the smell of carbon brake pads in the morning, I'm more scared of the Boyes downhill, and especially the last bit, than the few rollers going up the "climb".

Cheese Posted August 30, 2012 Share As much as i agree its not about the bike, a decent bike does help i started Group T, the Argus was only my second or 3rd race ever, first one being the 94.7 in 2011, i have done a few seeding races including the POwerade Mountain to Mountain which was really tough considering i had 2 hours sleep before the race! but yes i agree i might have to aim for about a 3:10, but my ultimate would be a sub 3 still some time to train, and the test run will be doing a sub 3 on the 94.7You still have few races to get good seeding for the race next year. You should not rely on this years Argus to give you seeding. You can get better seeding doing races like Telkom satelite classic, OFM etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchisti Posted August 30, 2012 Share Wouldn't have thought a de-tour could unleash such a debate. Didnt even realize Boyes drive is such a steep climb (prolly cause my nose is mostly in my lap going up there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted August 30, 2012 Share Even though I love the smell of carbon brake pads in the morning, I'm more scared of the Boyes downhill, and especially the last bit, than the few rollers going up the "climb". I agree we had a big split in B group on that downhill, sub 3 shot to hell.
