Pure Savage Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 My boys' starting time is an hour later than mine........oh, what to do? Wait for them? Last year they didn't wait for me, the little blighters! Start with them? Leave them to their own devices? They are 15 and 16 and have done 4 Arguses each so they know how to handle it. Perhaps it is time to let them fly on their own? Besides, they form a formidable pair if they gang up on you. Or ride with DJR Senior who starts a half hour after me? That's always special! Or do another team DJR start to finish "one for all, all for one" ride? Decisions decisions! Great stuff, choices! Don't you think!? Decide which beer tent to go to and tell them to find you there!

I think it was Talus that posted a few pages ago something about your seeding index being below a certain figure and then of course your initial start time. just page up a bit, Not sure how far back it was though, sorry.

Disylizzy Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 A MTBer is someone who has no fear of the wild. It is someone who will face any challenge head-on and who will not shrink in the face of adversity. A MTBer is someone who will not shriek when faced with a big drop-off, or cringe at a 26% gradient of loose shale and baby-skull rocks. A MTBer will accept the challenge, and triumph over it with sheer grit and determination. A MTBer is someone who will ride the CTCT on a bike with fat knobs on their tyres and keep pace with road bikes. A MTBer is somebody who delights in the sound of swarming bees coming from their tyres on the tar. A MTBer is someone who is not fazed by the weight of their bike, but cares more about the next bit of single track - google it. In other words, MTBer's are REAL men and women who live life for the thrill of it, not for the sake of it. Not sure where I would fall in then. I like to consider myself a cyclist. I ride for the enjoyment of it. Nothing beats the thrill of seeing how fast you can go downhill on your road bike or the achievement of completely a technical piece of single track.
HeadDown Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 2A for me! No complaints on my side and I will be helping out in front to push for a respectable time! 2A as well. Will also be starting hard. Unfortunately we're starting immediately after the recumbents, going up Nelson Mandela's will involve some traffic I think.
JohanC Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 anybody trying for a sub 3 this year....on a mtb? probably not, as all the real MTBers will be riding the EPIC the next week Is it possible? Anybody done a sub 3 on mtb before?
devocean Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 So windy today. I rode under the civic centre just now, had flashbacks of 2009 Argus!

Dubbin Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 PS0558.jpg PS0558.jpg Ok, so that proves multiple sub 3's and evidence of a gifted cyclist. Now please post photo's of finish with MTB (with knobblies of course)
