We would pass groups on the uphills, they would draft us on the next downhill and pass us again and every time the marshalls were blaming us... Edit : I haven't completed any argus so I hope this won't be a criteria ???? You have over 1000 posts on the hub, you fine!

Definitely a bit tougher but also much safer when you are not constantly passing slower teams. On the balance I probably prefer the fastest teams first format but I think we all knew it was going to revert back to the old format again. At least the vibe will be better, I had a very lonely solo ride when I got dropped near Van Loveren last year, first time I saw another team was when they caught me on the last of the 3 *itches. It was very strange, the only time I saw people was walking from Montagu to Ashton with torn front tyre. Rest of the day sitting in a paceline or all alone...

Even the neutral zones were more or less deserted DieselnDust and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K20Champ Posted August 30, 2021 Share so with the changes back to the slowest 1st, will it be 2 non timed stops as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also don't know whether Cogmanskloof Pass will be able to accommodate the event without a Neutral Zone yet. Current website, which is a rebrand from the 2020 event still shows last years race rules with the exception of the start format change back to the previous. There is a note that states the Road conditions, and closures will be updated close to the time. " Important note: The description above is based on the situation along the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century route at the time of entry applications opening. We realise that things will change and we will keep you fully informed of the conditions and safety measures being implemented. By entering the event, all riders accept that they are aware of the situation in respect of the route and roadworks affecting it, as well as the potential measures (detailed above) that may be implemented to ensure the safety of the participants. Please note that these Route Conditions and Neutral Zones are not final and may change closer to the time. we can assume they will revert to the two non timed stops. This will be dependent on the lockdown protocols in place at the time of the event going ahead. Oh and the weather will be fine and hot with a dash of South Easter to make the trip home warmer but assisted Edited August 30, 2021 by DieselnDust Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
