Hello to all the Wannabees
I do not know who angered the WIND GODS on Friday, but with the wind only blowing on Saturday and clear windless days on Friday and Sunday, I have to wonder???
Despite all that close on 50 riders arrived on Saturday morning at the weigh in at a windless W/Stone village. Needless to say all changed on the way to Gordonsbay.
A close on 40kph wind had most riders pushing their bikes up stretches of the hill. Some of our riders must have had a dejavu experience from memories of last years ARGUS
Needless to say it made for fun stories over the coffee at DULCE’s afterwards. For some probably the first time that they have had to push their road bikes during a ‘race’
Unfortunately the computer’s battery power was `also blown away so the final calculations and prize positions could not be determined on Saturday. I am thus including the main prize-winners as follows
| Overall Winner Corrected Watts | Coeni Fick | 458.4W |
| Best Wannabee Corrected Watts | Stephan Van Zyl | 455.9W |
| Best Woman Corrected Watts | Charmian Le Feuvre | 418.6W |
| Fastest Time Men | Vincent Bergh | 12min 53sec |
| Fastest Time Woman | Claire Craig | 17min 19sec |
| Most Pure Watts | Coeni Fick | 385.2W |
| Youngest Wannabee Rider | Johan Pretorius | 14y |
| Oldest Wannabee Rider | Alfred Robinson | 64y |
| Lightest Bike | Michel de Clippel | 6.6kg |
