Rode my first Argus - 05:13. I enjoyed the vibe, massage girls, refreshment stops and not the wind! A big thank you to all the Hubber's advice over the past year. I will be back next year.

Anybody know why the start was delayed? My group (DD) started about 4 minutes late.

 

Some L's got ahead of themselves and jumped the start a minute early or so. The announcer got distracted and started counting down group M's start without releasing the L's first, so group L got released at 6:53 instead of 6:47. The J's and K's were on time so that was likely the start of the delays.

first time back since 2010, was hard work, really just went as fast as I could from the start, very little, sorry, no, co-operation from the guys at the back.......

 

safe and enjoyable 14th ride, hopefully I'll get a seeding again to start a it further up next year.....

Very Happy with this years result! Was hoping for a sub 5, got to the top of Edinburgh Drive and had a failure on the front derailleur!!! Stuck on the big chain ring I thought it was over. Picked up a guy doing his second lap in Fishhoek and rode the rest with him. Over Smits, Chappies and Suikerbossie on big chainring was an eye opener! Big ups to those who do it on SS. Landed up finishing in 4h40 after trying for 10mins to fix derailleur so VERY chuffed with that result!

Was in front of L, no one jumped the gun. There was a delay in K for whatever reason, announcer got confused and started count down for M without L being sent off. We all went off together 3 minutes later.
