PeterM Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Ha Ha - yeap we just might do a "booze cruise" RaceTec used 108km for 2006/5
Woofie Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah! Booze cruise here we come Maybe we should congregate at a restaurant then and make the best of it!
PeterM Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Sorry Shaun231 - they spoke about it on CapeTalk. The road Engineer said that they are way behind schedule and they are worried about how the people living south of FishH can travel to work etc. The interviewer then mentioned - what abohut the Argus 2011? I am sure they will work something out.
PeterM Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah! Booze cruise here we come Maybe we should congregate at a restaurant then and make the best of it! Breakfast - here. Brunch - there. Lunch - overthere and pudding in Campsbay.... With cokes and messages inbetween. Now you started something! If the SE is going crazy in 2011 - we must do this next year!

niklasvm Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Hey Woofie. You've got the right idea for argus. We've got tons of races throughout the year to try and do well in. Something like the Argus should really be enjoyed. I was having fun until Simon's Town when i was stuck at the back of the group and lost the leaders up Smits. Chasing them for the next 20km was completely futile and i just tired myself out unnecessarily.

Already decided that if it is boys and bad wind next year, then I am going to do a booze cruise from the beginning. Pity that I only decided in simonstown to drop off. It would have been so lekker to do it from before wineberg hill because there is such a lekker spirit from there already. Looking forward to sunday, are you? Bit nervous, never done a tight crit. But if anything it will be good for me. Do you think we will even get a chance to drink on the ride? it is going to be a super hard 45 min.
niklasvm Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah i am. I haven't done a crit since Killarney. It really does get tough. The one session we did an hour plus 1 lap at 39.6km/h with a gale force SE. Average heart rate 183. I don't think it'll be that hard though because its a mixed group. And yes you do get time to drink
WorcesterWheelers Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Wanted t otake the two kids on the two tandems this year, but my daughter was not old enough, so in 2011 we will be doing a family ride with two mixed tandems.....
