lerouc Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Just a quick questions, i am sitting out my first argus in probably 6 years. (not that i didn't complete all of them but thats another story) and i was planning on watching this on my couch at home but for the life of me i cannot find where they are broadcasting it. Am i missing something because the only thing i find is supersport showing highlights the evening at 9pm?
jawn Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Just hope the wind plays ball https://twitter.com/GrootPoof/status/839059124973408256 The wind is going to pomp! Edited March 7, 2017 by jawn
Spinnekop Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Make sure you have fun! Forget about the clock. Talk to people. Cheer the spectators back! Stop for water, a banana and Bar Ones. Maybe even a massage. Help someone with a broken bike. If a semi-drunk guy near Scarborough offers you a boerie, don't decline. Drink in the vibe. In general behave like an 8 year old would! Definitely have a beer afterwards, unless you take the 8 year old idea too far. Jip.Best idea here. I once had 2 beers. On the bike. From the bottom of Suikerbossie and before the top. On a tandem.On lap 2 The downhill was a BLAST! Belgian biker 1
Vetplant Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 https://twitter.com/GrootPoof/status/839059124973408256 The wind is going to pomp!Interesting App, would like to see that mapping going through the variations for the next couple of days. It is probably based on a single rider, not a peloton having to deal with crosswinds etc? Long Wheel Base 1

Warthog Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Friends and family out in force supporting the riders way back in about 2011 halfway up Suikerbossie at our braai spot. What a jol it was. I used to pack the trailer and go park it on Saturday night with all the provisions. Unashamedly I used to wear an Epic finishers shirt just to show I could ride a bike DSC_0122 (Small).JPGThis is the exact reason why I convinced my better halve to do the Argus just this once- to experience THIS. MASSIVE thanks and kudo's to those who do this for us bike-trappers - it makes this event AWESOME!!!!! T-Bag68 and carbon29er 2

It is probably based on a single rider, not a peloton having to deal with crosswinds etc? The Strava segment is matched with Weather predictions. You can select when you want to go 'ride' the argus segment. ...but we all know come Sunday morning it is going to POMP!

LoveMyRide Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 If the link below works you should see a nice visual representation of the wind. Make sure the day is set to the 12th, and the time bar to where you want it. Local winds are influenced by the mountains, which the model may not be taking account of. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=-34.105;18.721;9&l=wind&t=20170312/06 jawn 1
