SeaBee Posted November 30, 2012 Share All I can say is the wind is pumping in Stellenbosch. Small trees laying on their side. Strand Rd looks like it got pounded by a hurricane with all the debris. So happy we not riding today! Yeah, pumping in Paarl as well, we'd have been hard pressed to ride today! As for Stellies - trees blown over on golf course, a section of PRG's wall collapsed with one of the pillars having been blown over...I only saw the fire trucks, but apparently a tree blew over onto a house in Pniel/Johannesdal, right near the entry to town (from Hels side) I guess we can call this "a fresh breeze".

Cippo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Wind is going to be pumping in the peninsula today and tomorrow over 50kph / 27knts. Looks like I will have to hit the spin bike for loosening up. megdobson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted November 30, 2012 Share My forecast still saying chance of rain and fresh NW for Sunday - least if that holds we'll get some help down the R44 home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted November 30, 2012 Share Thanks, very helpful. I would have thought that the first 30km would have been the slowest because of the big climb in the beginning. If you look at the profile though, the next 22 are downhill and flat - so you get plenty time to make up your avg speed. Don't be fooled by Helshoogte - the real work (IMO) comes keeping any kind of pace up on those 2nd two 30kms, especially the last. I never managed it SyncSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyncSA Posted November 30, 2012 Share I live in Stellies - I couldn't leave the house this morning as a tree branch broke off and blocked the stairs, Couldnt sleep much either as it felt like the wind was going to rip open all the closed windows. It was bad, still is bad! Hope it eases before Sunday....A LOT! Edited November 30, 2012 by SyncSA Carmichael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
