Red Zone Posted September 11, 2007 Share The Argus is an institution, every cyclist should do it a few times. Doesnt matter where you start it is a international celebration of cycling. Of course the fees are a bit rude and then you spend some more at the expo and then a few upgrades for the bike and get buy all sorts of gels and bars. Of course it is worth it. I do feel sorry for the Gauties who have to travel, but there are normally more Gauties than Capies in the Argus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general public do not see you as a cyclist if have not done the "August" or the 94.7. They only think there are 2 races a year. And you have to do them atleast once just to experience it. Regarding the expo, I think the 94.7 expo is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder Woman Posted September 11, 2007 Share I find it a great weekend away, yip a bit expensive but I love the relaxed atmosphere of CPT and really enjoy the weekend, so I think it is worth it and the race is just a good excuse to get down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted September 11, 2007 Share I hate the Argus, but no one has ever asked me for my "Remax Breakfast Ride" time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastapouch Posted September 11, 2007 Share The Argus is an institution' date=' ...[/quote'] no problem with that, but, its R80 more than Dome to Dome... + day licence is R110 more. That's almost the cost of two smaller races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted September 11, 2007 Share You wil not experience ANYTHING like it in your life. Something you have to do at LEAST once. Take R5k and go enjoy the week. Take a day for the expo. A day at Ratanga. Day for the aquarium. Two days for wine farms. Watch the Giro riders do their thing on the hill climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain_lion Posted September 11, 2007 Share The money is supposed to go to a good cause... (at least some of it). I too was wondering if I wanted to face the masses again, but mrs mountain_lion decided that entering will force us to do some training, so I will be doing number 11 next year (on my hybrid - that is as close to a road bike that I get ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added a few extras - Friday nite - tri nations, Sat am ride with mates. Best weekend I have had for a long time. And my daughter and I rode the tandem on a spectacular Cape day. Want to do the same with my younger daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
