Just had a look at the weather and maybe go as light as possible. 55km/h wind.

 

Where did you get this forecast? Its still 13 days to the event?

 

Will not read to much in such a long term forecast. The best the weatherman can get right this time of the year in cape-town is about 4-5 days.

I did the 32 15 combo last year. You will over take so many bikes on the uphills and spin like crazy on the downhills.

Put a bell on so when you out of breath you an let them know you coming from behind...not they they will listen but it helps sometimes.

Which other hills in CT did you ride with that gearing? I've only done suikerbossie. I've also attempted Kloof nek and Kloof road on the 32-14 but ja I chopped OFF.

really, on 32-14 you should be fine, what wheels you riding?

 

um ja, can't remember at what stage i need to get off, but made it up bishopscourt ok. pretty sure my bike is actually 46-18, but maybe it was 44-16 and i've changed it to 44-15, will check tonight!

Sweet! Great report.

 

I think I'm going to tes out 32-14 or 32-13 in the week. I'm in NO place to be pulling 44-16 just yet. I'm only starting in X.

I am so tempted to say: BRING IT ON... But, alas Thor you have been training like a machine... Come now, do a race with me on an SS... Just disconnect your gear cables!
