  1. The entries for the Argus 2004 opened today (01/09) and already there is almost 8000 entries.

    For those of you who have not heard of the Argus, it's the worlds biggest timed cycling event. It had 35 000 cyclist this year and all entries were gone in 33 days.

    I think it's going to be gone in less then a week this time.

    :eek:

  2. So fast that they have put a limit on the daily entries. They have stopped at 7750 and will only open again at 20h00 tonight:eek:

  3. I entered at 07:20 this morning and was number 2011. They reached 7750 just after 13:00. They would have easily reached 10 000 or even 15 000 for the first day. I can see a new record coming. Scary stuff.

    4 days after opening and the Argus has decided to close "On-line" entries on 32 00 (the other 3000 are for people who do not have a computer or internet).

    Guess what? If you want to enter online, you would need to do so immediatly as there are only 200 entries left.

    They are now standing at 31 793. Last year it took 33 days to do so. Seems this year it will only be 5 days. :eek:

  5. on line entries now closed!

    can try a postal entry

  6. I entered this morning just after 9! How's that for a close call!

  7. I didn't enter. I 'll probabely be out of the country then and if a am still here I just apply for invitational(they don't need to pre enter). I am not in the posession of a credit card or a south african bank acount so entering is difficult anyway.

    Why don't you phone them. I think there are still a few positions left that can be entered via the post.

    Also, just wait a while. A lot of people entered but have not yet paid.

    I don't know when the deadline is but once they reach it the entries will re-open and all those who did not pay will have to re-enter.
