dev null Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 So, no longer a short route for the youngsters?  Yes, looks like it.  Bummer.  My wife and youngest boy (12) wanted to do the 44km race.  Entered me and my eldest boy (14).
Johny Bravo Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 So, no longer a short route for the youngsters?That would be really stoopid of them.Â
Pure Savage Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 That would be really stoopid of them. There was always nightmare of routes joining and some nasty accidents due to that. Think was decided to remove from a safety perspective. The Argus only has one distance
Johny Bravo Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 There was always nightmare of routes joining and some nasty accidents due to that. Think was decided to remove from a safety perspective. The Argus only has one distance True, but this event was always supported by many younger riders, women, and riders who are not quite ready to take the step up to 100km events. This was a fantastic stepping stone, because the 45km was quite challenging.Â
DJR Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 There was always nightmare of routes joining and some nasty accidents due to that. Think was decided to remove from a safety perspective. The Argus only has one distance I absolutely understand the reasoning......but I still find it sad that there is no short ride for the youngsters. I found it a very good start for the 13 year olds to get their Argus training off the ground. The last year we had a race between us (the long one) and them (the short one) to see who finished first. Fun. They are so busy with school stuff and the Burger is a good time to get going.......but the long distance is a bit much for them this early. I don't want to break them now, when there are many more races to use to build up to the Argus. So, the Burger is no longer going to be an official "family team race" for us.....just a bit sad. They need to remember that not everyone ride it to improve their seeding. Some ride it just for fun, or for training.
