Frosty Posted November 8, 2012 Share And don't forget the GOLF BALL sized hail stones...http://www.iol.co.za/polopoly_fs/edenvale-hail-1.1407783!/image/2005812191.jpg_gen/derivatives/box_300/2005812191.jpg I remember a few years back [19 November 2006], when the rain was caning it down on the section past the zoo (the steepest descent in the race).Fogged up glasses with rain obscuring my vision... Hair raising stuff...that year...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted November 8, 2012 Share Did a bit of a reconnaissance drive on that new section by Killarney mall up to Joe Slovo yesterday.Eish! Looks like a bit of pain will be dished out there. K@k uphill past St. Johns... Easy! They should try the route up Munro Drive sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Just about every year there has been rain right up until the night before. But the wind this year has given me great strength training out here in doosberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycling Addict Posted November 9, 2012 Share Anyone know the deal with doing a double? I assume if you get round the course before the last batch goes then you can join in with them. Do you miss / avoid the timing mats on the 2nd round so as not to get k*k? ie Cannot have 2 sets of results, anyone done this and is it worth the effort, I know the Choc cows do it but that is all arranged up front - Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair raising stuff...that year...?? Yes, sounds right.It was so wet my brakes decided not to work.... and my average was 40 at that stadium, so I just sat up, not wanting to risk a wipeout.30 minutes later the sun came out and I died from the heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
