Wannabe Posted March 9, 2017 Share My first Argus - damn i'm excited. Bike arrive in CT an hour ago and i'll be there at 10 tomorrow. Can't wait to taste this small breeze you guys are talking about. Should be fun! That's the attitude to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren_G Posted March 9, 2017 Share Is it just me or are the goodie bags getting worse every year? I know we don't enter for goodie bags but this is seriously disappointing, nothing of use except another water bottle...at least last year we received a small bottle of lube. Get a little creative, put something memorable in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted March 9, 2017 Share Bad news for you Okes afraid of the wind. On my way to work this morning (after my last fairly hard session on the bike) I noticed the clouds are piled up high over the Hottentots Holland mountains. This normally means the wind is here to stay for a few days, and that it will be a strong one. Just heard from my friends doing the TOGH that today's stage has been cancelled due to the high winds, they were suppose to go over Du Toits Kloof today, but the wind is making that too hazardous.

CatchMeIfYouCan Posted March 9, 2017 Share Sunday will be worse - by about 25 -30% Where do you get that from? Windguru Cape Point has current winds at around 55km/h (gusts 70km/h) and on Sunday forecasted winds of around 40km/h (gusts 45km/h). dev null 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted March 9, 2017 Share your post dont count ... no phoddies.This was the queue when I arrived @ 9:50 it was around the corner in the far distance after a short while.They open the gates at about 10:45 and then we walked around the field (jealous of the green grass) and then the registration and then missioned around to the expo. They weren't joking when they said wear comfortable shoes as its about a 1.5km walk. Warren_G and Suidwes Boytjie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
