Mr Legs Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 My first three beer sub 2 hour Argus. Ran out of beer, just think how fast I would have been if I could fit a six pack in the camelbak.
Organic Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 pity 90% of 1D bunch had no intentions of trying to catch 1C I think many people decided to take it easy, and I can't really blame them given the circumstances. It would have been nice to have a bigger group helping in front though. There were two guys in particular at the front of 1D who were seriously strong. Between them I think Carlo and Stuart must have spent at least 1/3 of the ride in the front. I think the names on the numbers is a great idea by the way. It's so much easier (and more easily understood) to say 'watch out James/Werner/David' than 'watch out Specialized/Bianchi/Giant/Velotex'. The no stopping signs on Wynberg hill decent were less than ideal.
Belgian biker Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 My frist result: 2h07! With those winds the first half and the delay at the finish, more then happy!!! :-)

Barker Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 So according to racetec Solomons, Rui won the cape town tour with time of 50min? From the 4H group.
flymango Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Amazing that 31,946 finished the race. That's a high turnout, despite the sceptics and complainers.
StevenDimond Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Lol up Edinburgh drive I was towards the back and the front guys got away. Just couldn't catch them and not too many tandems willing to help. Admittedly we not the strongest climbing tandem. My partner is my 59 year old toppie so it's to be expected not to stay with the younger pairings up the hills.Lol up Edinburgh drive I was towards the back and the front guys got away.

Barker Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 So who is the actual winner Nolan Hofmann or Solomons Rui from 4h? How does this work? Cause on the news they say Nolan but it looks like this guy had a time of 10min lesss than Nolan.

Cause on the news they say Nolan but it looks like this guy had a time of 10min lesss than Nolan.The guy that crossed the line first won. Often tactics slow down a race. Besides, it is not yet confirmed that Rui completed the whole course.
Barker Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Ok so its not the guy with the fastest time that wins. Need to be a pro to start first to stand a chance to win in other words?...
GoLefty!! Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Ok so its not the guy with the fastest time that wins. Need to be a pro to start first to stand a chance to win in other words?... LOOK IF RUI actually did that time then it will be the fastest 47km time trial in the world ever.... likely?
Barker Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Just want to know how the winner is actually identified. Time or over line first. Dont know Rui personally.
