LeoKnight Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Sunday looking better and better #touchwood #wishfulthinking Depends which site you are checking, some others do not predict as positive weather. Maybe a good time to see which one we can rely on the best
Andreas_187 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I have a friend coming on a last minute trip to CT. Can he buy one of the entries for sale in the classifieds? This will be our first Argus so not sure if you can buy an entry without substituting? Edited March 3, 2018 by Andreas_187

This will be our first Argus so not sure if you can buy an entry without substituting?He can buy a number, collect it and pluck it on his back and ride (as someone else). But, its illegal and he risks a life ban. Many do it, and I confess that I once did it myself but it’s actually a dangerous and a stupid thing to do. They are trying to root out the practice by making you scan your chip to gain entry to the expo. Edit. If he is coming from overseas, he can still enter I think.

The person that gives the entry is gets a life ban DJR 1

We went past just as the ambulance arrived to pick up the rider. Don't know what happened, but it looked like he was coming down little Chappies when he crashed. No car appeared to be involved.
Icycling Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 For us fair weather cyclists the weather man has taken a turn to the worse for cycling next Sunday, but the 6mm drizzle will be a help for the western Cape. Wind also looking not so good. Sun http://weather.news24.com/Images/Icons/Forecasts/18.gif Drizzle. Partly cloudy. Cool. 18°C 16°C 36km/h S 71% 18°C Moderate 6mm 36%
