PeterF Posted September 18, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterF Posted September 18, 2013 Share 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. Izak and G e r h a r d Odendaal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterF Posted September 18, 2013 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izak Posted September 18, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izak Posted September 18, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil6 Posted September 18, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
