JannievanZyl Posted March 8, 2014 Share How strict is the name checking when you load? Got one friend who can't ride anymore and another really keen to move up the starting order. He can comfortably ride the earlier group but just returned to SA recently so got a really late start. Suggestions?

Brent Posted March 8, 2014 Share How strict is the name checking when you load? Got one friend who can't ride anymore and another really keen to move up the starting order. He can comfortably ride the earlier group but just returned to SA recently so got a really late start. Suggestions? Riding on someone elses number will get the person banned. For medical reasons and personal details, it should be obvious why this policy is so important and strictly enforced. timbrink, slowashell, mrbaker and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/130053-argus-2014/page/59/#findComment-2234197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALUS Posted March 9, 2014 Share ouch my ego!! The Cape really hurt me today. Struggled on the DOWNHILLS! Started chatting to a guy on a 'dale in a black and white Assos jersey from C group - says he is not THE 'Dale. I am disapointed. Could have made the second lap but the mind is really not tuff enough today. Good luck to the other riders.

Cippo Posted March 9, 2014 Share One crash only at Hospital bend. Touch of wheels and two went down, then the domino effect and before you know 5 or 6 more hit the deck. One guy could not continue due injuries and two others due to mechanical issues.

Rapunzel Posted March 9, 2014 Share Only a few small crashes in our bunch so eternally grateful for getting home in one piece. Feel for the guys out on the route with the wind. Had to hold onto a traffic light on the way back to the car to stop myself from being blown away and there were some patches on chappies where the wind from the side was strong enough to blow me well off my line.

GaryvdM Posted March 9, 2014 Share Lekker race! F group was awesome. No accidents, and we caught the e group at Smits. I think this was cause it was a bigger group. Chapman's was not to bad, but I suffered on Sakerbossie. Finish in 3:18.

vayamo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Big crash on Blue Route. Must have been L, M or N group. 3 people taken off to hospital according to my wife who was watching there. Was in R group, saw riders lying all over the place. Noticed a fair sized pot hole about 50 meters before the crash site.
