PeterF Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Why is it that a 10 year old can enter the Argus but you have to be 19 to enter the K2C? G e r h a r d Odendaal 1
Izak Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Why is it that a 10 year old can enter the Argus but you have to be 19 to enter the K2C?Have you done K2C before?
PeterF Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I did it last year for the first time. And yes no way a 10 old is going to do it, but a 16 - 18 year old that has trained, sure. G e r h a r d Odendaal and Izak 2
Kranswurm Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Why is it that a 10 year old can enter the Argus but you have to be 19 to enter the K2C? A 10 year old can't enter the Argus
PeterF Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 A 10 year old can't enter the Argus OK sorry 12 then. Still far from the 19 for the K2C. "the youngest riders in the main event being 12 years old or 11 if on a tandem with an adult."
BLACKvoodoo Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Thread high jack for one sec... Can one save multiple .gpx files from Endomondo or must you save one by oneIf so then how?
Izak Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 OK sorry 12 then. Still far from the 19 for the K2C. "the youngest riders in the main event being 12 years old or 11 if on a tandem with an adult."I agree an 18 year old in good shape will be able to cream it, I think it might just have to do with with the dangers of mtb vs road and especially the fast gravel downhills at K2C. Possibly more to do with race organiser liability than anything else. I dunno, thats my personal opinion...  O and please don't start another discussion (wiff pics of seriously mangled roadies) saying "how can I say that road cycling is not as dangerous as MTB" ... OK ok ok you rebels it's moerse dangerous ... BLACKvoodoo 1

Izak Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Those cat eyes come out of nowhere and the drop off on a cat eye is insane , Don't you know..Oe e e I've got to be very careful here .....Lets just say that I tend to carry my mountain bike over tar sections...
Izak Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks, Will see how quickly I can get to the vet ... I mean the pharmacy Went to pharmacy yesterday and god B12 + Complex injection still a slight cough but had my last training session this morning and felt good. Flying to Cape Town for business tomorrow and that time on the plane is normally when these things tend to get to their worst. Lets see how I feel on Friday morning, seriously hope I am fighting fit
Wil6 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 OK sorry 12 then. Still far from the 19 for the K2C. "the youngest riders in the main event being 12 years old or 11 if on a tandem with an adult."The difference is the Argus you ascent 1200m on tar and the K2C it's 1900m on gravel. The winners of the Argus takes 2:30 - 2:40 min and the K2C its 3:00+. Much tougher event Izak 1
fandacious Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Â PS I guy was snoring .... Â that was Dick - he's a hubber as well

Well maybe I will snore this time as i am carrying even more weight and have been off the bike for 2 weeks now after sporadic rides before that. Se you all there.
