Skubarra Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Just saw that entries close today! Don't miss out if this was on your list of pre-Argus rides...
buchanan Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Does anyone have a link that shows the 110km route profile? Doesn't look like the PPA have shown this on their website. Thanks.
Ferro Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Sincerely hoping that tackling Vissies earlier in the ride (unlike the 99er) gives me a better chance to avoid the walk of shame...again.
Breezer Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Sincerely hoping that tackling Vissies earlier in the ride (unlike the 99er) gives me a better chance to avoid the walk of shame...again.It does not get easier, you just go faster!
Karman de Lange Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Just Entered.. no idea why, legs still dead from saterday ... sucker for punishment

Pure Savage Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 You can try this:http://m.strava.com/activities/258517218 Are they including the the Paardeberg climb? I see they removed it for 99er. Route description leaves a lot to be desired by PPA.

Yep, on the flipside getting dropped on Vissershok 95km into the race - no shame. Getting dropped 10km into the race - eish... I'm not the best climber around, is going to be a massive challenge for me to see if I can stick with Group B up that climb, didn't manage it on the previous attempt! Always a sucky feeling when that motorcycle pass you to catch up with the rest of the group while leaving you all alone in your misery...

Ferro Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 It does not get easier, you just go faster! Thanks Breezer. Inspired by the destruction wrought on me by Vissershok and Odendal I swapped out a few parts on the road bike and now present: "The Caitlyn" ...
Dubber Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 substitutions closed on the 12thyeah - saw that too :-( PPA don't normally close their races (and subs) so early do they? I remember entering a few on the day. Not sure whats changed. I understand they have to get final numbers for water points etc - but I'm sure they can't have that many late entries? Or maybe I'm wrong....
