daithibach Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Awesome! Now I just need to find a TT bike to borrow / rent / steal...I'm coming down from Joburg so it'll be a case of slapping on some clip-on aeros for me
Bianchisti Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Yep Stage three is a 53Km TT.Iyoh!!! drie en fyftag kilomieters???
daithibach Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Iyoh!!! drie en fyftag kilomieters??? Yep! The profile is nice though, 635m total ascent, 1517m total descent. Not sure how to attach images here but you can get all stage maps and profiles from eventsupport@asgworld.co.za
tourdeboland Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Still packages available, bur further from start/finish, so more expensive, being R9000.00 for the whole tour. Individual day packages to launch as soon as we have all of the guest houses on the system. Carinus
SL7 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I would like to do this - just missed my Argus sub 3 by a few seconds. Do I enter in Vets 40+ or A open seeded group? I'm thinking of booking my own accommodation, but the transport logistics of moving my bag from the venue to the shuttle and also finding my way back to my car from the finish in Paarl with my bag seems a mission. Unless it is a really small bag!
tourdeboland Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Hi We've decided to only allow TT bikes for the Elite race, and are possibly shortening the TT somewhat...final route recce next week, meeting with power-that-be, and we'll be in touch. Interstage luggage transfer, and other logistics support only to be announced early January, rest assured, we'll have someone transporting your stuff with great care and at great prices. We are also talking to Andrew at Tryptich about carting your bikes. Last but not least, Solms Delta remains very keen to have us start with them - they are on the R45 equidistant to Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch - so, in January, our transport partners will start offering you opportunities related to the hassle of getting from your first breakfast to the start, and then back to you cars after the Tour. Please email us on info@tourdeboland.com if you still need accommodation options Carinus

It was one of the main reasons I want to do the race. Is the decision to not allow them and shorten the stage definitely finalized? I don't actually even own a TT bike myself, I was going to make a plan to beg, borrow or steal one. Thanks
Bianchisti Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 +1Awesome buddie. I can't bring myself to take the plunge. Did 85kms on my ownsome last week and wondered how I will do a 100± for a few days. Maybe next year I will enter when cut off gets closer. For now. Training as much as possible.
Aluman Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I dont know the area well. Will it be possible to camp as we follow the route or are quest houses the only option. We are two cyclist but we dont have a driver to follow us on each days route. Any persons with experience with suggestions please. We would like to enter before Friday

Rydogg Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I really wanna do this... :'( but im not sure im fit for this hahahaI did Argus 3:40.. one tonner for 5:11.. getting betterBut still I am not sure yet hahaha So most people are sub 3 for Argus..? This will depend completely on the entrants. But I think any non sub 3 Argus riders will get left behind and it will not be fun.
