Long Wheel Base Posted February 22, 2016 Share Entered 8 Savages for the second lap Bring on the carbs!Nice big budget your team has. Being one of the smaller Vet teams up here in joburg, when we hear what the budgets of the bigger teams are we are surprised at the big gap between budgets. And we actually got quite a few sponsors but just not the "big" names. Its rumoured that one of the bigger teams(joburg based) has a budget of around 750k for this year. Fair enough they field an almost full team in men's and ladies racing categories but that's still a decent budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner Posted February 22, 2016 Share To those who might have wondered , the system for the allocation ( Lotto ) of getting into the Argus is not fool proof. There will always be someone who knows someone or knows how to get around set procedures for example people who entered and waited, like the majority of us, the normal way and got told that they did not make it and then you get someone a none cyclist who did not owned a bike until February 2016 never did any training and who decide in February 2016 he wants to do the Argus got in to do the Argus with a seeded number ???? Just saying Kapenschtaten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted February 22, 2016 Share Done.It wasn't as onerous as I thought it would be. They are pitching it as gathering info in the case of medical problems, but it's actually for research purposes for University of Pretoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted February 22, 2016 Share Here's one thing that I always wondered about. Why do they complicated things even further with a start card? You already have your number on you and a timing chip on your bike or yourself - they then add another thing that can get lost or cause problems? Personally I would just go with a timing chip and race number. raptor-22 and Bankie99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
