Attakwas - 17 January 2015

[GLuvsMtb]

isnt the finish in Groot Brak?

yes, and it is always 3 to 5 degrees cooler in Groot Brak, but 3 to 5 warmer in the Attekwas kloof. You want to be out of the kloof early. The plantation section has plenty of shade and is protected against the wind. It makes the 13% ave gradients bearable. Headwinds in the last 20 have broken many in the past. It seems not to be much of an issue for Saturday.
