Musashi Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 How good is the drainage of the route? I see we're in for a lot of rain on Thursday and Friday, but Saturday looks good!
Robertson Winery MTB Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Looks like we'll have some rain on Thursday and on Friday morning but Saturday and Sunday will be nice and sunny. The drainage is quite good but there will be some muddy areas to negotiate. We'll also have hot showers afterward to wash a bit of the mud and dust away!
Francois Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Always a good event and as far as I can remember it has always rained in the day or two before. So nothing new. I'm expecting a great event again and looking forward to seeing everybody there again.
