Maybe time to scale things down a bit and limit the entries? But that would bring in less money.... Damn these charities for making money and enriching the lives of the less fortunate! LeTurbo 1

A query may be logged by going to http://seeding.cycletour.co.za/findme.aspx?ss=2&eid=2014, where you will be able to leave a brief description of your query. Only one query per person will be entertained.

Fujioso Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I rode the Argus back in 1991. It was my first. Started in Y group. Did a 03H03. It was a terrible experience. I have since never returned to Cape Town to do this event. I can just imagine how massive of a cluster f><k the event is now! I see my decision not to do it again remains vindicated.

We came to a dead stop at the intersection of Main and Boyes drive (at the Kalkbay Harbour) where it formed a bottleneck.. We stood there for a short while before getting going again.Can see it happening again this year. In that case you have my sympathy & it means the race isnt really a race, its "an event". Wannabe 1

Pooyan Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Everybody- just do the event. It might turn out better than you expect.andThe Organisers did state that all racetec timed events could be used for seeding purposes. lucmccann 1

The issue that the op was raising was not the seeding, but the lack of/small gaps between groups.
Pure Savage Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Why not start at 06:00? I am sure last year we started earlier, was in B.
Pure Savage Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry, I was wrong, B Started 6:32 last year. Also we do not know the size of the groups this year, they all may be smaller at the front of the field. If the first 8 bunches only have 120 riders each, then not so bad.
