dev null Posted March 10, 2017 Share My son was hoping for a 3h15 from 1J, but with this wind and weighing only 58kg on a CF bike, it will be a tough ask. I think he will do well coming in under 3h30, unless he finds some big riders to hide amongst. Bateleur1 and Rouxenator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted March 10, 2017 Share What is the cut-off time at Smits? I told my wife and and youngest son they just have to focus on making that cut with the wind from the front. From there it should be better. It will be their first Argus, and they start just before 10. Edited March 10, 2017 by Moridin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted March 10, 2017 Share They have extended cut-off times before depending on circumstances, and strong winds could be one of them OK, I have heard, maybe urban rumour, that in 2009 they pulled people at Smits at 13h00 that have not passed there yet at that time.

venom1 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Worst expo I have ever been to. Never again I haven't been yet. Planning on going tomorrow. I was hoping it was going to change from last year. I guess it never live up to standards like at the Good Hope Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouxenator Posted March 10, 2017 Share I did 3:12 last year starting 6:31 and still faffed about for ages. Last group took AGES to get out the shoot. So guess 3:30 is still okI managed 3:05 last year starting at 6:33:30.My strategy is to stay mid-pack and tail suck to the end. Then have fun on lap 2 if I make it. carbon29er 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted March 10, 2017 Share Everything runs late in Cape Town. Business decisions, trains, parliament, building projects, the weather. I'm calling a still morning and the wind coming up hard at mid day. Just after I come over Smits and blows me home.

Mamil Posted March 10, 2017 Share Dear CTCT expo, Forcing people to walk through the hall of cycling commercialism gone wild when all they want to do is collect their racepaks is off putting. Particularly when one is officiously shepherded by unsmiling security muppets who look like they are itching for the opportunity to unleash some aggression. Not cool. No thanks NickGM, babse, Pooyan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
