Fellow Riders,
Anyone know what the total climbing is for the Argus?
The 99er was just under 1100 meters on my dial.

Thanx, Neutron!
I guessed it had to be more than the 99er.
Wynberg Hill, Smitswinkel, Boyes Drive, Chapmans, Suikerbossie.
Cumulatively, there's a lot of ascent there.

94.7 is about 1080. Argus in 2008 (without Boyes Drive) was also about 1080.
The 2009 wind made it the equivalent of climbing at least 5000 :)

I've got around 1050m for 94.7 2009 and around 1350m for Argus 2009.
Here's a profile overlay of the two:

I got 1200m for the 99er on my computer.
Do it to the fullest, to the max, to the limit, dont stop till the finish, do it on your own - till you're finally shining.

I think the argus has more flatish (fast) sections with the 3 main climbs whereas the 99 was just up and down the entire way other than the flat section towards the silos.

The attached map shows total climbing of 1570m for the Argus route. I've seen 938m on Mapmyride Is there any consensus on this question?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs, who comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
