10 m/s after 8 at Cape Point. Not so gentle a breeze, quaintly termed a fresh breeze

[Tiny K]

[Shebeen]

Ahh, the stab in the dark 9 day weather forecast. so much of fun!

[banna]

I'm not riding this year, so it'll be 23 degrees, sunny and f-oll wind.

[LeTurbo]

21 degrees, 0.3mm Precipitation, 7m/s wind (gentle breeze)

 

And even the best sites out there like windfinder arent acurate up and till about 3 days before the time even though they do two week predictions. This be cape town mate,

 

1. The weather will change probably for the worst,

2. you will have passed through 3 different climates before the finish line

 

I actually hope its gail force wind that day i might go out and watch if it is.

[covie]

oooooh if i look at windfinder from CPT airport all the way around the peninsula your looking at 40kmh avg for next week. Not displaying the weekend just yet but the trend for next week i doubt it will change.on the weekend since its windy Mon-Friday. Poor fella's

[Bike Mob]

I hope it blows a gale too

[covie]

Doesnt look to good Cape Point next week.

[MockTurtle]

Tropical Cyclone Irina is gonna crash the party.

[nuge]

[Rapunzel]

this is cape town - it's probably something like this

start at city centre - 20 degrees, clear, no wind

blue route - 18 degrees, partly cloudy, wind 30km/h SE

simonstown - 22 degrees, sunny, no wind

cape point - 18 degrees, overcast, wind 50km/h SE

misty cliffs - 16 degrees, raining, no wind

... get my drift

[liebenw]

Well, I hoping for a strong wind, that way I will most likely stay with the group till the final bend on Smits, thereafter, bye-bye.

[Li Mu Bai]

lots of wind for the week according to windguru, hopefully its all blown out by sunday. Great for kitesurfing prior to the race

[LeTurbo]

After paying R490 for my substitution entry, I'll ride the damn thing if there's thunder, lightning, snow, and arctic blizzards. My miserly nature demands its money's worth.
