Jase619 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 1 minute ago, Shebeen said: sort of totally unrelated, but thought I'd throw this comment in here: Twenty years ago, the Dusi K2 years used to have almost 1000 boats finishing (977 in 2002, 969 in 2004, and 970 in 2006) but with the steady decline in participation ever since, only 207 boats finished this year. The Dusi may not attract the same sort of numbers it used to, but it remains as iconic as ever and all who went will tell you what a fantastic event it still is. Well done to Andy Birkett and Matt Fenn on taking the win ahead of local favourites Mtolo and Khwela by over 6 minutes. Andy is now just one win away from equaling the Popes incredible record of 15 Dusi titles. In this context, I wonder if "Dusi Guts" has a lot to do with the decline in numbers, presuming not a lot of people are willing to do it just to have explosive diarrhoea right after.

ChrisF Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Just now, Phillippe Coetzee said: How is the weather looking Sunday ? Wearing out the refresh button .... Bigger picture - Past a cold front by Friday. Hot weather by Monday. Thus Sunday should be in the 20's, and the typical wind on the out lap. Basically as good as it gets around here. As good a guess as any .... DieselnDust and Scary Rider 2

Scary Rider Posted March 7 Posted March 7 So...we're on the road again!🤪 The long awaited "Argus trip" is underway. ChrisF's beloved Potch train is heading his way. Can't wait to see our friends again😘 matthew de haast, ChrisF, Donovan Le Cok and 3 others 3 2 1
tinmug Posted March 7 Posted March 7 @Phillippe Coetzee Use an app called Windy and/or Windfinder. This will give you a better idea of the slog to Cape Point. Last I looked 20 knots of breeze – enough for white caps on the water – but not too bad. Really just classic old Argus weather. Don't stress about the wind. The temperature looks fine, and the wind helps you on the other side of the peninsula (it actually helps you everywhere by keeping temps down). Have a good ride. 👍 Akon, Phillippe Coetzee and ChrisF 2 1
