Swart Kat Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Dont know wich what that part of the route is called, but on our way back on that nice long downhill, think Wynberg, somebody fell! He fell pretty bad. I just saw his bottles and bike skid over the road and saw him just lying motionless on the tar. Some other rider confirmed that he hit the barrier. It did not look good at that time and was thinking of this person the whole day and how he is doing! So, does anybody know or seen this?
dev null Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 so, that was my first Argus! It was way too short!I found out I'm not that bad at climbing. Startgroup 7C,passed a lot of people going uphill. Hospital bend was though with the wind, Edinburgh drive felt easier.Coming back was easy with he backwind. Hope to be back another year for a full ride! When will the results be on racetec website? I did around 2hours, pleased with that! You should come back. The scenery on the rest of the route it just awesome. Long Wheel Base, Belgian biker, paul_ct and 1 other 4

A helicopter pilot has just been killed fighting the fire which is still blazing at Cape Point. RIP. Belgian biker 1
GoLefty!! Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Today most people just enjoyed themselves, but the knobs really stood out. You know the opportunists who didn't enter, then grabbed a substitution and decided to race and push everybody around. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did Starvin' Marvin 1
splat Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 That was a good day out!A bunch of us rode to the start, and then to Hout Bay and back for coffee afterwards.That wind got a bit hairy in places though.
Starvin' Marvin Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Enjoyed the ride. Did a 1h45, not bad for someone who is 6'3' 119kg. Saw a few crashes and some guys being carted away in ambulances, strongs to them.

I never thought that there were people that actually gate crashed the Argus, but my wife told me that she saw quite a few peeps join the ride at Mosterts' Mill, where they were supporting and cheering riders on.
gummibear Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Great pics here. http://www.bicycling.co.za/race-news/gallery-solidarity-ride/#!prettyPhoto
TALUS Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Nooooo. Helicopter pilot dies. All decisions vindicated. RIP.
Odinson Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Other than that a good hour and nine minutes of riding. Prove it. You're telling me that you finished in a time that was barely 8 minutes shy of Hoffman's winning time?
Pure Savage Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Prove it. You're telling me that you finished in a time that was barely 8 minutes shy of Hoffman's winning time?Did he win? Don't see his result in strava. We all know that it doesn't count unless on Strava Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Odinson Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Did he win? Don't see his result in strava. We all know that it doesn't count unless on Strava You're sidestepping, Savage.
Uni Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Is there a vid of the sprint finish? I'd like to see that if someone has a link.
