Okay, so I am looking for a race preferably in Jan/Feb 2017 as a good pre-ride for the Argus. . . I know there are a lot of options: the 99er, The Fast One, the Herald VW cycle tour.

 

Having never done any of these are there any recommendations as to which is a Must?

 

Thanks

A good race to do before Argus is the Ride for Sight starting from the Boksburg stadium in East Gauteng! Great challenge with some good climbs. I think the distance is around 116kms. A good comparison to the Argus, as it is said that your R4S time will be close to what you achieve at the Argus! A theory supported by many seasoned Argus veterans!

Sounds good, I have never done 116km before so that should be interesting. Can you direct me to a website or something where I can get more information? And entries and so on?

Agree with the Ride for Sight as final prep race for the CTC. It is a real good gauge of where your fitness levels are. It is normally just two weeks before the CTC.
