gazzacpt Posted March 8, 2017 Share to all those out of town guys please bring your own water with we got water restriction here.you will find waterpoints on route dry.NB.the road between kalkbay and fishoek is terrible went pass there on sunday dont think it will be perfect with all that manholes protruding and the uneven surfaceIts being resurfaced, or should I say surfaced properly. They started on monday. I went through there yesterday, half of the outbound lane was already done and they where busy doing the inbound lane. So the section from kalkbay traffic lights to halfway down the "roadworks" section was completed yesterday, outbound and inbound. You'll be pleased to know the drain covers are now level with the road. Mostly.

TALUS Posted March 8, 2017 Share What a difference in little personal dramas around this nice ride of ours each year brings! Everytime it reminds of the pressure on pro riders to peak for one race/tour. Two years ago i was really fit and strong. I had a 1B start and was paid up for the double lap. Alas, at 08;00 I was back in the hotel having a shower. A really expensive and frustrating morning. Last year I wasn't as fit but the weather Gods smiled on us and I got my 3 hour and second laps done in one go. I helped some ladies and pushed the Rhino up Suikerbossie. Priceless. This year I am vrotsiek and still getting worse. I would most likely not have started but my 76 year old dad has been training his arse off to do his first "Argus" and I can never drop him. He will need some guidance and help. I am hoping to get him around in about 4:45. Rather than talking about the inevitable wind - give us a bit more of your personal stories. Its more fun to know about the personal battles.
