Skubarra Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Yes I'm sure you would be able to ride a good time from E that would get you in the front Argus groups. Also the other racetec timed races between now and early Feb would also count towards your Argus seeding, so I wouldn't write off your dream just yet if I were you.
Frosty Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I agree, a good time from E is definitely possible and a good seeding too. Now it's up to you to make it a good ride.
bmw1za Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Maybe we should swop numbers.. I'm Tired of chasing like a demon in A ... I miss riding for fun YEAH RIGHT !!!!
StevieL Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I agree, a good time from E is definitely possible and a good seeding too. Now it's up to you to make it a good ride. The front of E is guaranteed to be well inside 3 hours... This graphic is a few years old now, but I reckon it still holds some kind of relevance...:
Frosty Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I think if you're not quite up to the pace of a better seeded gtoup, you could actually blow trying to stay with the group whereas a slower group rides faster than the guys getting shelled by the high pace

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I know they will really miss me at this years race but after last years fiasco I am not gonna do this race again . Rather go and stand at the SAnral office for a few hours .What happened?
G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 If your group drops you, are you allowed to ride with the group coming from behind? Im still new at road cycling races !
GaryvdM Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 If your group drops you, are you allowed to ride with the group coming from behind? Im still new at road cycling races !Yes. If they had a rule to prevent that, Imagine how hard it would be to enforce...

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Yes. If they had a rule to prevent that, Imagine how hard it would be to enforce...This was not the case in the Amashova last weekend..... they had 4 cars following the first 5 groups (not unseeded) and they did not allow a rider that was dropped to ride with the bunch coming from behind. Wonder what will the case be in the 94.7?
