Hi guys.

 

Me and the wife will be doing the modest 110km on the tandem... I have no clue what to expect. Obviously the climb in the middle is a tough one, is it known for wind?

 

Enlighten me please?

EDIT: Well you know how it is..... until I think I can make some of other target ...then the training ride idea is out the window. I will decide after Botmaskloof.

If you ask any of the guys that did One Tonner, they will tell you that there can be a fair share of wind...but you'll survive

The wind is normally a headwind . Which in my mind is better for a tandem than a side wind?

 

Well not as good as one pushing you from the back..........but what is the odds for that???? In my opion ......zero.

I'm entered! I was informed - "So I've entered us for the race this Sunday" ^_^

No there is not. I have the same issue. I have to drive 1 hour 45 mins x 2 to collect the numbers. I have called the above three stores and the organisers and they cant help me...

 

So where does that leave me?

Not ideal for people having to come from distance ...

Can somebody else collect on your behalf.?

Maybe meet you at the event to hand over.?

I'm sure there's a helpful Hubber out there willing to help.

I'd offer to but sadly I'm not doing this event.
