It's those that spend 6hrs plus on the road that should get special medals. We start early, ride hard and finish early. They start late and finish very late

Yeah.

You won't go off near the last riders, you must remember alot of the riders have done no seeding rides and a 4:31 is not too bad.

yep, my old man was pretty chuffed with his 4h150min last year

I thought one wasn't allowed to ride during holidays?

Your buddy's conned you man. They just wanted you to be slower than them after Dec

I rode 750Km in 3 weeks - would have loved to have ridden more but the heat in Wellington was hectic...... still is. 31°C outside right now.

I agree. I am always amazed to see the various people riding the argus. You get people that are really unfit, that have done no training, are overweight and still do the Argus. Plus they actually finish it! It just boggles the mind.

As the Olympics moto goes. Its not about winning , but participating.

Not trying to heat up any conversation here, but what does it matter where we are seeded, in a sense that if we are giving a seeding can it be changed?

I'm actually asking the quesiton what if i get RR seeding, and i feel i deserve to be in L or whatever, what can who do to get me higher up? is this possible?

Dale, think you're a bit optimistic there with that L. Double letters will be my guess. My 1st Argus got seeded EE or CC with a 4:09 Burger (my very 1st race - took it waaay to easy!), to give you an idea...

Is BOYES DRIVE still part of Argus 2012 ?

I am a spot nervous with that........ at least it gives me time to train a little harder..... I see either an elite or A bunch start

Tiny K, at this rate you will soon be eligible for the Grand Tour in June!
