Agteros Posted October 30, 2012 Author Posted October 30, 2012 Will have a look closer to the day, but the plan is still to drive through on Saturday, sleep over, do race, get off bike into car, and come straight back. After the 'somewhat of a' wind over the weekend at Bela-Bela might as well go do this one!
Garfield2010 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 The weather looks OK. Very little chance rain (and Bloem is not known for morning showers).... moderate temps but windy. This is however a "highway" race so snuggle up in the bunch. Just be carefull if there is crosswinds.......... When getting tired dont go to farinto the road to get that wheel as it is still the N1!!!!! Also watch out when those 36 wheelers come past in the wind it can chance a few people's "lines" quite easily. All in all just be responsible and concentrate.......... What I want to know is when is the lucky draw for those 2 Merida bikes?

Agteros Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 When do we get our seeding? At registration... Need to make peace with either "killing myself" or riding tempo
Cheese Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 When do we get our seeding? At registration... Need to make peace with either "killing myself" or riding tempo I am sure it will be out today, last year also only got it one or two days before the time. Nice race this one you will enjoy the quality of roads and the organisation.
P.A.K. Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) It will be my first time doing the OFM. I'm also going to do both MTB and road. Not sure if my fitness is what it should be, but my strategy is to take the MTB VERY easy on Saturday and save myself for Sunday. Looking forward to it EDIT: Just got my seeding. Seeing that I'm a first-time, I'll start at 07h25 Edited October 31, 2012 by P.A.K.
