dev null Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 It looks like we will have to make a jol of it on the way to Smitties. And then push it from there on.
Slowbee Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 See this is the problem when you race a race and don't ride a race. You worry about things you should not worry about. Weather schmether feather. The wind will be what the wind will be. The ride will still be awesome. I say about 4 hours ride time and about 2 hours stoping time (ok maybe 2 and half with the wind) so a full days outing for 6 and half hours. Not a bad I say. Brogue, Reg Lizard and Smurfy 3
canadonis Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Hectic, for the many visitors, welcome to Cape Town, what's the argus without a taste of the Cape Dr. Blackbeard 1

That equates to good value for your money!!(compared to if you do it in sub 3hr...)
'Dale Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Can't stand the incessant dry throat when the gusts are up At least, with cooler temps, I'll be able to wear my new funky black Assos jersey :-p Edited March 5, 2014 by ' Dale djsam 1
