babse Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Ish boys and girls, don't forget to have a good HTFU stay the f* at home breakfast for this weather thats what im thinking
Hearts* Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 This was going to be my first race for the season, but I'm not going to put myself through the trauma of a 50km/h headwind...
'Dale Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Pretty strong winds predicted for Sunday am. 27 knot South Easter!!! Now translate that to km/h... :-D
MTB_Roadie Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 thats what im thinking This was going to be my first race for the season, but I'm not going to put myself through the trauma of a 50km/h headwind... Do you want to ride your bike or be a couch potato? Stop moaning, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.... Now translate that to km/h... :-D That is the same face I got, but then again bad winds was predicted for the One Tonner and there was hardly any wind on the race day, best way is to show up at the event... Can't wait for it
babse Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Do you want to ride your bike or be a couch potato? Stop moaning, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.... and what if it kills me? of course i want to ride my bike, but def not in a group with 40km winds speeds and rain pissing down along "that" road.il make the call on sunday morning!
Denny Menchov Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 The stronger the wind = more chance to get a lucky draw prize!
ibruegge Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 it's cape town, it's a weather forecast, it's most likely going to look very different on Sunday morning...
flymango Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 What group? Last year it rained and that's why it was so dangerous. Fast ride on slippery roads. Hope everybody enjoys the race this year. . Think I was in M/N? Not the racing snakes up front.
LeTurbo Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Way too early in the season for me. I get tuckered out just riding from Greenpoint to the top of Chappies.
Tubehunter Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Group dynamics are gonna be a major factor with these predictions if this weather happens!!!!! There I thought the deep sections were coming out to play......
TwiggzSA Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I entered last night on the weather forecast of a bit of rain and wind. This morning the forecast has made a drastic turn and there's crazy amounts of rain and wind seems to be getting better: http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/table_bay   I know the Spur Adventure race in Grabouw has been cancelled due to extreme weather. The trail run in Dirtopia still seems to be going ahead.   What are the chances that the race will be cancelled due to bad weather?

TwiggzSA Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Roadies are much tougher than adventure racers. No chance, IMO. Fair enough
Scotticus Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 For those of you who are ging to ride.. GOOD LUCK..And those who are not....Stay in bed.
Scotticus Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Ish boys and girls, don't forget to have a good HTFU breakfast for this weather The forcast on WindGuru as shown above have change....PS! Dont look at Cape Town... cos you not racing in Cape Town. Check out Milnerton.17mm of rain predict for the morning with a max wind speed of 40km.
