Jean123 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Looks like about 10 mm of rain is forecast to fall on Tuesday for the Ride Update: Make that about 20 - 25 mm over Monday and Tuesday Looking rough at this stage... Really hoping for some sort of meteorological miracle! Riding in that sort of weather for a day is one thing; doing it two or three days in a row will be brutal! Thank goodness we're in a guesthouse, because I reckon that race village is going to be a swamp.
Jean123 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Excited for the guys registering today for the Adventure this weekend:)Looking forward to you guys sending us pics & info of the contents of the race pack, as it will give us a clue about what we can take off our last shopping list;)
extremelights Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Its almost here... only a few hours away... are you guys ready for it? Who's doing the Race?
Donovan Le Cok Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Has anyone doing the "Race" who has asked to be reseeded, got any feedback yet? Hi Milky I see the "Race" seeding has been updated this morning. Check if your request is reflecting?

ichops Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Doing the race - 1 week to registration - cant wait Last year did the ride in that crappy weather pn day 1
Donovan Le Cok Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Has anyone doing the "Race" who has asked to be reseeded, got any feedback yet? Milky if I recall correctly you were originally seeded in D, we had a conversation after the one tonner. You are now in C. I could also be completely wrong.
milky4130 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Milky I see the "Race" seeding has been updated this morning. Check if your request is reflecting?yeah it has albeit only by 1 group
watsonr Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Wife and I starting in G on day 1 of the race. First W2W for us but really excited and nervous for the event. Will be riding as part of the Food Lover's Market contingent.
milky4130 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Milky if I recall correctly you were originally seeded in D, we had a conversation after the one tonner. You are now in C. I could also be completely wrong.100% correct. Hopefully after day 1 the record will be set straight, wishing for a fault free W2W this year, 2013 was issues literally everyday.
milky4130 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Gosh - I've moved to veteran men! Think the seeding database got messed up in the process :-(Time to have your eyes checked out, you are in the "mixed team" Cat
Skubarra Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 100% correct. Hopefully after day 1 the record will be set straight, wishing for a fault free W2W this year, 2013 was issues literally everyday. I started in C last year, yes the people there are not racing snakes like you but the pace was fast and I don't recall any bottlenecks, except at the portage section where I think it's a bit of a queue for everybody anyway. Sure you will be in A by day 2

Jean123 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 The weather forecast for the Ride is really confusing... I believe in two things: Windguru and yr.noEarlier this week yr.no was showing massive amounts of rain for Elgin from Monday all the way through to Wednesday. Just to confirm I decided to check on Windguru too, but according to them there was only a slight chance of a very light drizzle on Monday afternoon.Roll on to today & I check it again. Now according to yr.no there is only 1mm of rain forecast for Monday. Super chuffed to see the improvement in the forecast I checked it to Windguru again... which shows torrential rain the whole of Monday! WTF?! Are they screwing with us? Who is lying, yr.no or Windguru?!
