blondeonabike Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Eish...I don't know about this wind.....I cut my road ride short this morning, got fed up being blown off my bike by the crosswinds. Hopefully better for you guys tomorrow.

Hopefully better for you guys tomorrow. If this afternoon is rough = then we should be safe tomorrow morning. I think there are gonna be some very uncomfortable folks on the road post-noon tomorrow. Incentive to drive the pace hard tomorrow >:3
lucmccann Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Had a good leg loosener this morning. Wind is a bit gusty and was more westerly this morning but turning a bit now...nothing too harsh for anyone from the Cape though Feel free to greet me if you see me at the start or during the ride. I'll be the only guy there in SportsWorld kit.
Bizkit031 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Knobblies, Maxis UST. depends what you weigh but I would say quite hard I'm also on Knobblies going about 35psi and I weigh 95kg
bradwentzel Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Black Panache kit in A.See you guys at the start tomorrow

Incentive to drive the pace hard tomorrow >:3I'm no weight weenie, but my 67kg was not enough to keep my bike on the road with all those gusts. Maybe tomorrow will be a day for the buffaloes to triumph if the wind carries on......
Frosty Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Broke a spoke on thos morning's ride. Luckily Solomon Cycles were at the expo as they phoned Mike (at the shop). R85 later and I walked out with a fixed tandem wheel, but slso spent another R400 on stuff i didn't have to buy. Service was friendly, fast and efficient - spending the extra was, well... you understand

tombeej Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Eish, thunder and rain has started . Good job we're not racing today. Before packing a speedo instead of bibs, I decided to check all the main weather sites again. Happily, the general consensus is weather very similar to last year: Cool, cloudy and R-L crosswinds that will get stronger as the day progresses.
tombeej Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 What pressure on MTB wheels? (29'r tubeless) Check the pressure range on your tyres and pump to the max recommended pressure. It's a road race after all
Bizkit031 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Check the pressure range on your tyres and pump to the max recommended pressure. It's a road race after all that's what I did will see if there is some off-road tracks along the way just to remind my bike that it is a MTB
TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Shame noone else is in G to help drag an old man home... Hope the wind dies down and we have a cloudy day
