NixM Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Like others have said, ride, don't race. Let us hubbers pick, say, five waypoints along the route that you have to photograph to prove you stopped :-)I will let you know on that one!

Christie Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Stop doing the same races over and over - find new events asap. Wash rinse repeat, watching the same movie over and over again. The Argus is not the best race SA has to offer. Our country has some world class mtb events, why not try some out?
Johny Bravo Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Argus is really one of the few races where you can ride 6 hours plus, and still enjoy it. Next year I am doing the braai and champagne and beer ride.

Post you racetec results showing that you are the proud owner of last place in your start group Very tempting, all but number 11. Think I will "forget" the chip at home.
Slowbee Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Very tempting, all but number 11. Think I will "forget" the chip at home.nooooooo! just keep it on ....... you want this to be a finish ..... 21 is a big thing, and you will be one of the few people to have 42 one day ... unless CSA (aka sascoc) get their hands on things....
BarHugger Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 look for the oke with a lumo green helmet, holding a savanha and unable to keep a straight line *sorry for the hijack Nix*Men are such simple machines........easy to motivate.

Mr X Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Don`t do the Argus. Get your mtb and go ride in Jonkers or Grabouw. Burn your road bike.
Mntboy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Nix how about riding the CTCT on your favorite mountain bike dressed in slicks? That would be different and fun at the same time!
Amberdrake Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Slowbee that sounds like a epic ride. I think in 2016 ill get my friend to do CTCT with me and follow that plan.
HappyMartin Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Take a camera. Make a little documentary
rudi-h Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Nix how about riding the CTCT on your favorite mountain bike dressed in slicks? That would be different and fun at the same time!Never dress your mountain bike in slicks! Ever
Mntboy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Never dress your mountain bike in slicks! EverI don't have much choice since it's the only bike I have. That said I've found it to be a good experience.
