Caerus Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Smashed my first Argus with a time 4h08mins. Was gunning for the sub 4 but the old knee blew out at the top of Suikerbossie. Otherwise was an awesome day out on the bike and pretty stocked with my performance. GaryvdM, Capricorn, scotty and 7 others 10
splat Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 3:00:20 for me.So very bummed! Group C caught B just before UCT, I think. We could see them leaving Town, so it was a good target to chase. it was pretty tense after that, with riders kerb to kerb. My brake pads are worn down - it was brake/sprint all the way to Smitswinkel. I saw 2 relatively minor crashes on the M3. Hope there were no more and those who did crash heal up quickly. Very happy to get to the finish unscathed and chill in the Nedbank tent mrbaker, GaryvdM, Wannabe and 5 others 8

Bernard Horn Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Big up to all the marshalls along the route and at the end..Especially well done to marshalls at East fort in Houtbay,controlling the speeds past the crash site.Hope the guy that went down will be ok Brent, Maniax, openmind and 1 other 4
Tjokkits Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Very well organized once again. Who took the win and the ladies?
'Dale Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Very well organized once again. Who took the win and the ladies? Hoffmann and Stander
milky4130 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Very well organized once again. Who took the win and the ladies?the Hoff & Cherise
maidenmole Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Does anyone know about causalities in L group from the big crash on the M3 after Tokai Rd? There was one lady who seemed to be in pretty serious condition?
Lone_Ranger Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Did a 4:35, after aiming for 4:30. So pretty chuffed cos the wind was quite hectic. I was on my mtb with knobblies, next year might gun for a sub 4 on a road bike. I did have the pleasure of finishing quite soon after Arianne Kleynhans, only she was finishing her second lap of the course. Edited March 9, 2014 by Lone_Ranger
Sean1 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 3:01:40 odd according to Garmin. That headwind finish was too much for the legs and the sub3. Congrats to D batch and one C batch rider for the concerted effort after Suiker. Hit 2:38 at the top and thought that we had a chance! The peloton was huge going up Smitswinkel but at least there were no freshly dug roadworks to navigate near Simons Town and no crashes (just lots of random braking) Back next year!

Very happy to get to the finish unscathed and chill in the Nedbank tent Just after we caught them there was a crash. Then a huge chase for us that was left behind. Funny I saw quite a few E and F riders before the end, but didnt notice many D riders. Group dynamics? Mate thumbs up on that time (but I feel your frustration!). Edited March 9, 2014 by TALUS
Johny Bravo Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Wind affected me quite a lot. Made my life quite tough today. Hoping for a 4.20, did a 4.40, so not too bummed, but being a little bit bulkier than the average cyclist does make for some scary descents in the wind.
Reece_Rower Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Who was in the B/C bunch when that okes tubbie blew? sounded like a gunshot!
mtbgirlz Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Who was in the B/C bunch when that okes tubbie blew? sounded like a gunshot! How sure are you that is wasn't a cricket bat? Bianchisti, Neill Du Toit, 3wings and 12 others 15
