I was in one of the first 3 batches to go, and yes wind was insane at the civic center, but after that it was perfectly manageable. I don't buy the wind story. It's a real pity it had to get cancelled and some people are losing big time. My mate came down to do his first CTCT and only got 19km in. 7k spent on lodging, flights etc. Gets expensive for a 19km coffee ride. I really hope the organizers can at least meet us half way with the 2018 entries, but won't hold my breath for it.
