My 8 Years of The Argus


To get the Argus Results now from winning time, go here. Although I've had a steep improvement curve, this year it Table Mountain-ed...;-) My crucial mistake was being a tad complacent up Smitswinkel after paying the price for not being vigilant up the last piece of Bishopscourt. The problem is, the groups are so huge you kind've assume they'll hang together in one piece. Not. So losing E at the top of Smitswinkel essentially disconnected me from the train. Silly nana.

Even so I am motivated now to go up two gears. But first have to repair a slightly wonky front Zipp hub. Did a small jet ride over my wheel while they were loading the luggage...?

I've patted myself on the back thanks. I don't feel much better. I think I need a few more people to pat me on the back. Hang on...no, I need to ride a freakload faster!
