Bos Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 mm, Might make my comeback on this.. How tecnical is it? Anyone done the race before? (55km) IMO technical = better Maybe the previous winners time will be a good indication of the difficulty, Anyone have that?
Mads Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 ok see you @ the 55 Cool Berry! If I am doiing the 35 and you are doiing the 55 ....and I am really, really lucky...then I will be waiting for you this time. :lol:
Lounge Lizard Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Yup, not too technical - but if we have the snow on the mountains again - its gonna be lekka cold again !
Mads Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Yup, not too technical - but if we have the snow on the mountains again - its gonna be lekka cold again ! Whaaaa!!!!! Snow? Nobody said anything about snow.... :unsure: Edit : I don't do cold well. Edited May 24, 2011 by Mads
brussel Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 is there actually snow forcast this year?last year I dont recall there being much but holy cow was it cold!!
SeaBee Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Don't think snow is forecast, but it's been bloody cold and rainy for a couple of days this side of the mountain, so I won't be surprised if we freeze out butts off on Saturday. Off to buy me some long pants tomorrow - any advise?

Tankman Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Weather for Saturday:My link Did Riaan Cruywagen send you that weather report is 1952?
SeaBee Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 and i'll be getting a FA magneeto jacket for saturday...laas jaar was koud in daai berge!! Just got my FA leg warmers... wow, hugely different to the thingies I have... make that HAD beforehand. (Which was the reason I did not look for other legwarmers to begin with!) Full leg, feels much warmer and odds of it sliding out from under my shorts are virtually zero. Now I dare anybody to go slower than me... Definitely just going for the experience and expecting to learn a lot.
Mads Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Now I dare anybody to go slower than me... Definitely just going for the experience and expecting to learn a lot. Dare on................ Ek is nie bang nie of in elk geval te sleg. Pick your choice. :lol:
riccof Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I will be back again this year. Its a great event. Anyone know what the weather will be like. Seen 2 reports and they vary from 11 degrees and no rain to -2 degrees and rain (probably snow if we are lucky) Cheers
