Azonic Posted March 15, 2010 Share I wonder what ever happen to Mrs Liss?Did she ever win another race? Seems she was a steeplechase athlete years ago. Means that she was probably rather fit... http://www.sportsclubs.uct.ac.za/athletics/records/track.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted March 15, 2010 Share I wonder if he is related to the guy who was second in the World Masters 10k running Champs last year in Aus? Hmmmmm.

Guest Agteros Posted March 15, 2010 Share They've not done any Racetec timed local cycling races under their own names since that 2003 incident... who knows, maybe they did emmigrate (or returned home?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder Woman Posted March 15, 2010 Share That is absolutely very possible! It happened in the Argus in the ladies race in 2004 I think' date=' when I used to race.A lady by the name Ronel Liz (who I sadly got mistaken for ) did that and she managed to finish just 15 seconds ahead of Anriette, placing us 2nd and third. Anriette was basically in tears! I could not stop laughting when this women pitched up for dope control, she was a fun ryder through and through! T-shirt and all... her Boyfriend did the same and they both won the aldies and A bunch respectively! People amaze me sometimes! It was all sorted at the time but made big headlines![/quote'] Hey Cherry Great to see you are still around . Can't believe someone would even think of doing something so stupid!! Did you do Sani2C this year again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipstream Sean Posted March 15, 2010 Share I would think that if they didn't go over the mats at Smits their results will not show? I was in the VA group and while going up Suikerbossie yesterday i passed a guy with a C seeding. I was like .. WTF' date=' how did he get there before us?? [/quote'] It was probably scooter200 Perhaps scooter ran outta petrol If I rode the argus on a scooter, I wouldn't need to take short cuts...pretty sure I could win it on a scooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desi Posted March 16, 2010 Share They've placed a lot more timing mats on the Argus now than they used to have years ago. I think there were at least two mats out on the course - Smits and maybe Noordhoek? Can't remember where, but I recall going over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMort Posted March 16, 2010 Share I remember going over mats at top of Boyes Drive too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclingfiend Posted March 16, 2010 Share Unless you are an elite racing for money, what would be the purpose of cheating? Most enter the Argus as a personal challenge, and lets face it, who else gives a stuff what your time was except yourself and perhaps your mother! So you take a short cut and get an exceptional time, who cares really and the only possible gain is an improvement of seeding and so ending up in a group which is beyond ones capabilities! I recall mats at Boyes, Smits and top of Chappies.cyclingfiend2010-03-16 11:07:08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted March 16, 2010 Share Unless you are an elite racing for money' date=' what would be the purpose of cheating?[/quote']Same (inexplicable) reason that people will lie about their golf handicap (mine's hitting the ball, by the way), cheat when playing Snakes and Ladders with a five year old or over-state the value of their bike or the number of brandy and Cokes they had on Friday night.

scotty Posted March 17, 2010 Share Cheating need not only be taking short cuts. The chairman of my previous club used to give his chip to his brother in law to ride with, i was puzzled how it was possible i used to pass him in races but yet his time was always faster than mine, when i checked a few races i saw his brother in law and his time were the same.

Canaris Posted March 17, 2010 Share cheating at the Argus? well if you are not racing it, you should be partying on the route. So even taking a timing chip is kinda counter productive. I still don't understand how dodging 35000 cyclists on your way to the finish will ever give you a fast time anyway. Most guys only get a good seeding once they have ridden it a couple of times, and raced all the seeding races as well. I rather bite the bullet, start at the double letters and cruise the route. Beer tastes best at the foot of suikerbossie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboli4 Posted March 17, 2010 Share I was thinking the exact same thing, going to take the mtb next year and go for at least 8 hours, couple of pub stops included / visiting all the waterpoints and maybe a pre-finish meal at panarottis or something...
