usxorf Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 It's hard work sitting in the bunch and then having to drop all the leachers on the climb!
Thor Buttox Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Does anyone know how/where the license payment works? I paid the year one and didn't get any evidence of payment?

It automatically updates your membership with csa, login to the csa website to confirm. Mine shows as valid for 2015. Might take a couple of days to reflect though?

Skubarra Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 hills is very good.. especially at the end as it wont give the chasing pack time to catch up :clap: will get rid of all the leaches Sunday I murdered my group up the climb only for them to team up and pick me up again 5km later...Not going to happen this time round Can't quite work out why a champ like you are still seeded with the leaches. You should have a chat with PPA about their seeding system....
Wannabe Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Come this Race Day, I'm doing the Argus Route Recce. Will have the roads to myself.
Patchelicious Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Coming down to CPT for this one. Does anybody have a Strava link/GPX to the route, have no idea what to expect....

Ever watched a stage of the Vuelta, Giro, Le Tour?See what the sprinters does?Same thing really.agree and will be doing the same. :ph34r: learn from mistakes... But we all have the same goal, fastest time. So by doing your 30sec you only helping your self.
SeaBee Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Ramster, it's amazing how few people actually realise this... It's much better to sit back and be dragged along. I've found myself stopping peddling and pulling left last year at a couple of races. Otherwise you ride yourself in a pulp by 70k's and then they suddenly jump to the front "because the pace is going down" and jumps you and the two other poos sods who've been sitting in the wind the entire way.

I found out the hard way when working my way up the alphabet soup groups that the day comes that you're the leach and not the champ. That's when cycling really gets interesting... Enjoy
Pure Savage Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Not at all.

EnjoyJust get your elite mates to come ride with you in E to improve your seeding so you can all suffer shifting on wheels in the elite's!! Always love Skubs comments!

Cody bear Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I have entered the 99er for the last 6 years, but sadly it's pricing for entries has become unacceptable. I am prepared to pay the R400 pp entry fee for an event like the Argus with road closures included, but not for the 99er I'm afraid :-( Paying nearly R700 for me and my son to enter the 99er is just too much. I'm sure many loyal supporters of this event must be feeling the same way.
