Wannabe Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Prelimary weather forecast for Sunday is not looking all that good on Windguru. SE windspeed in the lower 40's (km/h) with gusts of up to the 50's.Hope this improves.
Lucky Luke. Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Nobody is going to get away up Ou Kaaps if the wind is more than 20km/h SE.

Wannabe Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 should make cape point even more interesting as its normally an extra 20km/h stronger winds round there forget them deep section wheels at home! Gmf, think I'll "forget" myself at home if this is the case.Conundrum, do I pre enter, or do I wait for the day to see what the conditions is. (R160.00 entry fee and the drive to the deep south (petrol price increase also on the cards))
mikkelz Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 38~47 km/h according to WindGURU at Cape Point on Sunday. http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=128493&sty=m_spot
Wannabe Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just had a look at Windguru again. Horribly windy conditions is forecasted for Sunday around Kommetjie area. 40-50km/h wind / gusts.
T-Bob Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just had a look at Windguru again. Horribly windy conditions is forecasted for Sunday around Kommetjie area. 40-50km/h wind / gusts. Yeah.... Bring it on... Rule 5... Rule 9 and 90mm deep sections all the way. Charge hard, embrace the wind, can't wait. Oh, hold on. Just realised I've got this thing i need to do, on Sunday, can't get out of it, bugger. I'd obviously be there if I could (and it was sunny, cool & windless and big bunches to hide in).
lucmccann Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 If it's windy, you'll suffer and you'll get stronger...living in the Cape you just have to embrace it. As usual, personal opinion. Roer 1
DJR Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 @ Cronje Fourie I have entered and as always look forward to this lovely race, but boy oh boy, your online entry system is not very user friendly. It took too long having to fill in all the personal details, registering, adding more riders, more details.......I could have got a decent bit of interval training in the same time it took me to enter. Sorry if I sound grumpy, but it felt like it might be less trouble just paying extra to enter on the day. Pure Savage 1

Johny Bravo Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Really sorry I am going to miss this one. Heading up to Port Elizabeth to do the VW Herald on Sunday. No wind predicted for Sunday in PE.

I tried a few times.Gave up.Tried on a morning when I was a bit 'fresher' to trouble shoot my way to registering, shall we say. Edited January 29, 2014 by ' Dale
T-Bob Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just going to enter on the morning and not bother with the Froome-esque tea bag outfit on this one. Bumped up to 'H' after the reseeding. Not exactly the race to hang on and sus out the group!
