LeoKnight Posted February 2, 2017 Share Who is going to apply for the PPA group? It seems that they realised that not all interested are of the same level, with a 2J & 5C Group split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted February 2, 2017 Share 50 years and 10 monthsIndex 67.27Stellies Tour 20164C You will probably already have downed a few cold ones by the time that I hit Smits. He likes his iced mochas, lol. Did my substitution yesterday. Been back on bike since late December after almost 2 yrs. 1st CTCT and 3 Argus CT. Have to wait till subs close to get my start time. Probably a very, late, start Edited February 2, 2017 by Cippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedToWin Posted February 2, 2017 Share 1J15th ArgusSeeding index of 25 with a 5 penalty on CT'16I'm quite peeved. I can't be the only one that only races summer season, peaks at Argus time every year and gets stuffed in the seeding If I miss my sub3 I'll be forced to use two angry faces in my next post!

eddy Posted February 2, 2017 Share I can already hear the whining from my brother. He did a 2:48 from F group in 94.7 and I did a 3:48 (on a dikwiel) from one of the open groups. He did a 3:19 Argus last year and I did a 3:39. He is in group 2E (7:05) and I am in 2J (7:17) He is going to be sooo miserable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadre Posted February 2, 2017 Share Thing is I posted better times for all my races in 2016. Yet they demoted me by one group. OK, the Beta's were different, but still... However I will not asked to be reseeded for a FUN EVENT, what's the point? Also, there is the matter of that hot girl form EL at Value Logistics that is seeded in the same group as me....... again.

You better start adding as many angry faces as you can. A sub 3 from 1J is about as likely as you shagging Charlize Theron. Possible, But not probable. I can't recall a sub 3 ever being done from the 10th seeded group. Excluding elites and vets and tandems as start groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted February 3, 2017 Share Riding to work on this perfect morning, I'm in a bit of a philosophical mood.........and I started thinking a little about why I still LOVE riding the Argus every year. This is my 12th one coming up, and I know many a guy who did more. We all keep on coming back for more. I got tired of other races. A few Wines to Whales.....and I felt that it was time to move on. A Sani or so, and I felt like new stomping grounds. But the Argus is different. Every year I get properly excited. Every time I get goosebumps in the starting chutes. Every climb up Chappies has me grinning. Every year I get a thrill from the crowd up Wynberg Hill. Every time I wait in anticipation for the cool patch at Misty Cliffs. I know the route so well, I can even tell you where the glass splinters on the left edge will be. Still it feels fantastically new every year! Why?

Duane_Bosch Posted February 3, 2017 Share Riding to work on this perfect morning, I'm in a bit of a philosophical mood.........and I started thinking a little about why I still LOVE riding the Argus every year.Can't believe it will only be my 2nd one. The first one I borrowed a road bike. I'd never even swung a leg over a roadie bike. Set the seat height and off I went. The wind was HOWLING!!! By the time I got to Smits my arse was so sore I couldn't sit on the saddle. But my legs were cramping so I couldn't stand & crank. Coming up Chappies was... Um... Challenging. Coming down chappies was no better coz of the wind. Suikerbossie was next level agony. My legs cramped so hard I thought my femur was going to break. This year I'm hoping for less butt pain Edited February 3, 2017 by Duane_Bosch Warren_G and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
