Hi Granville. Thank you for your kind comment and am really pleased you have found it useful. But am super impressed that you have done the long route 23 times! Training for the event gives me a bit of focus to get me through the long UK winter now 👍 Good luck with your training for 2025 and hope to see you on the start line!

Thank you for the kind comment. Great to hear you liked it and that it’s helping the training, I do the same! Good luck for 2025 👍

Thank you for the great feedback it’s much appreciated. It’s a fabulous event and I enjoy videoing it each year. I used a software package called Telemetry Overlay for the graphics and edited on FCP. And an external battery to get the run times needed. Am hoping to go sub 3 but as you know it’s not easy and needs a bit of luck at least for me! Getting a good position on a road bike is key for comfort maybe with the help of a bike fit. Then build up the ride times as you know. Hope it goes well and maybe see you at the event!

@@mangofilms1161 I am almost 100% sure we will not see each other next year. But maybe if I do good on the road bike I'll see you in 2026.

Thank you I hope you get number 20 in the bag in 2025 . Fabulous achievement to do so many! Have a 2024 video as well, which was my second event

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. It’s certainly a fabulous event!

Thank you, much appreciated. It’s a tough race but worth it for the excellent organisation and spectacular scenery. Correct yes used Telemetry Overlay for the data visualisation and then edited on FCP, and created 5 camera streams that I cut between for the different views. Ran two GoPro 12’s with external extender batteries for the footage

Hi Shaun. Yes I often rewatch it on the home trainer as well. Glad you enjoyed it it’s such a super event. I videoed the 2024 edition as well, managed a pb of 3.14 this time 😊

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. I think it’s the best event of its kind in the world- hope to be back in 2025!

@@mangofilms1161 I'd love to ride it again in 2025 as well. I last did it in 2015 when I was living in CT (albeit the shortened route due to the fires) and I also rode it as a 12-yr old back in 1987...it was 104km back then and finished in Camps Bay

This is just fantastically good video footage, thanks for uploading - I use it on my indoor trainer quite a bit!

Thank you Nicholas for your kind comments and glad you are finding it useful - I do the same myself! Hope to be back for another go in 2025 👍

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Let’s hope any rain holds off!

I think not, earlier waves can join later though - good luck 👍

@@mangofilms1161 thank you! Just asking because I see that you kept overtaking pink people and also a few of them started next to you. And yes, my wave is a pink but my pace would be to finish it in less than 5 hours.

I’ve heard that the entry into the pens will be more controlled this year but last year it seemed to be less so..When I did the Cape Town race it was strictly enforced but not at previous editions of RL, if that helps

This might be a stepping stone to racing’s. What’s funny about that?

Well mr big know it all i actually know this guy and i bet your pound to my Greand he would piss you right off! And he races too

Hi Connor, thank you glad you enjoyed it. The starting procedure is a bit more informal than the Cape Town race I did. But as a faster rider it’s worth getting into the early slots to get a good group. The seeding process seemed a bit vague though better last year than in 2022… Good luck!

Glad you enjoyed Elroy 👍. This video was done with Garmin Virb. I will use Telemetry Overlay for the footage from the 2024 race though

Thank you David, am very glad you enjoyed the video, it’s such a fabulous event. I rode this year as well and will do another video when I’m back in the UK. Went 5 minutes quicker in group 1A this year so am still searching for that elusive sub 3 😊

I think it was run separately- the video is the 109km version from last year

Thank you - glad you enjoyed. Will do a 2024 one - was quite hectic in the winds this year

Thank you Alfred, glad you enjoyed it. Yes plan to run a different overlay for 2024 that has a map 👍

Thank you glad you enjoyed. Not long to go to 2024 edition 🚴🏿

Thank you Carel- pleased you got value from it. Yes hoping to go well this year, will run cameras again - good luck if you are riding also 👍

Hi @Connor French. Think it was just a case of following wheels at that point, making sure I kept up!

Thank you, much appreciated . Am back this year riding again, it’s a fantastic event. Hope to go in 1A this year. I used Garmin VIRB , but this year will use the telemetry overlay software- you can see the difference with that on my Ride London video. It’s much more customisable

@@mangofilms1161 Good luck with your 2024 prep, hope I see you on the road, I'll be on my MTB as usual 😉 I also use Virb but it has so much issues lately, will look into other software options 👍

I saw your camera battery died at Houtbay. I use a small 5000mah powerbank attached to my handlebar which keeps the camera battery charged! Love your commentary notes 👍👍

@@cptmtb Yes I think I ran the camera too long in the start pen - am taking a nitecore 10000mah battery this year that is lighter as well. Glad you watched through and liked the commentary notes and good luck to you as well - will look out for you

Thank you @rauf800. It’s a fantastic event to do 👌

Thanks was pleased with the time, glad you enjoyed watching. I used a GoPro 10 hooked up to a GoPro Volta strapped to the handlebars to get the extra battery life - a bit bulky but seemed to work!

Hi, thank you. It’s something called telemetry overlay goprotelemetryextractor.com/telemetry-overlay-trial. Has lots more features than Garmin Virb

@@mangofilms1161 thankyou for replying ~ subscribing ~

Thank you, no problem 👍 I took high carb drinks plus about 2 gels/energy bars an hour. Pays to eat drink from early on as well….

Thats a lot of gels! But definitely paid off well done

Cheers Leigh it’s a great event - training for 2024 has started!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. It’s a fabulous event to do

Thank you Warwick. Under 4.25 is a good time 👍

@@mangofilms1161 Over that distance the difference between our times could be as simple as which group you manage to get in. I also didn’t stop for a bottle refill/change like you did so maybe that was the only difference. 👍

How the fuck did that car get there

Hi Bruce, thank you, glad you liked it. I knew the start would be hectic! I just had to pace it and latch onto a group on the blue route. I’m lucky enough to know some cyclists in PE when I visit there from the UK. Have been along Marine Drive and over Maitland a few times… Well done for being in the sub 3 hour club. Hope to be back in 2024. By far the best event I’ve ever ridden 👍

I so enjoyed this video, footage was great, forsure I will be cycling the Argus for the first time and I haven't been cycling now for a year,very inspiring 👌👏👏👏👏

Hi Nick. Your very kind,thank you very much. I’m working on a full length video with front and rear camera view. I have a couple of other short videos on the same playlist at the moment. What colour jersey were you wearing, I can see if I have any other footage of yourself Regard’s Richard

@@mangofilms1161 I am on the bright orange tandem, we had the red shirts on. Up edinburgh drive you see us. I am on the front riding very badly(so thanks for the rude awakening, I need to keep my upper body a lot stiller).
