A sub 3 hour Argus!

Yup, I woke up to see the first riders leave for the 109km Cape Argus, and guess what!? THEY did it in under 3 hours (in fact I think all of the riders in the 'elite' group did it in under 3 hours). I, on the other hand, did a sub 'NO' hours run (unless there can be a tme for getting on my crutches and making my way to the couch! ;-)

This year would have been my 10th Argus (I had an entry with the Power / MAD (Make a diference) team, but decided not to ride, back in January already, because it would mean taking leave in my last month of work at EMMU / John Wesley College).

Megan and I have agreed that we will ride together next year. That will be a good motivation for my recovery!

Well done to all those who rode!

Hi Dion,
Maybe we should compare best times - mine was 3:06 when I was already an "old" man. Back problems have prevented me from continuing with road cycling since 2005. I still ride some trails on a mountain bike now and then for short distances. I still miss the ride and maybe I should do a ride and stop one just one more time.
