Hard wind has come up whipping up dust off fields. The hills heading towards caledon will further tire shattered legs

 

If I remember correctly the NW can really pump through that area. NW has come up strong here in Strand/Somerset West, so I can only imagine what it is gonna do to the cyclists still out on the hills.

Here we go

 

Up ahead, Topeak are losing time too. The leaders are: Merida 360&361. Bulls2 are 1min back. Fedgroup 2min

Looks like they could have walked back 10m and gone around the fence.... or am i not seeing something

Some heavy NW winds predicted for later today. The poor guys at the back are going to get hammered

[dev null]

Looking ahead, lots of rain forecast for tonight. Wet muddy conditions for tomorrow.

Leaders about 20 minutes out

I am trying really hard to see something but have to concur, it does look easier to walk back a few meters.
