Cape Town Cycle Tour (The Argus) 2015

[Rockspider99]

he he, my trusty Steel Frame and Steel rims keep me planted. I only weigh 60KG but add 15KG for my Classic Racer and we looking at 75KG, though strong enough wind will still possibly be able to blow me away like a kite

It looks like a 22-27kph wind for sunday.

I only have the 38mm aero rims..and keeping them straight with a side wind is hectic enough - dont want to know what a 50mm or 80mm rim feels like in a side wind.

If it stays like that it won't be too bad for the early groups.  The later ones will have some interesting issues from Llandudno to Camps Bay.  At least it won't be too hot.  Very much the same weather as last year.

Days like this i enjoy being 93kgs....Ride the deep section all the time  

[Bianchisti]

I have the option of 50mm deep sections or a Dura-Ace 7800 front wheel which is as skeef as a windpomp. Seriously runs untrue.

 

I will be stuck with the 50mm at the back at the very least. Wind permitting it's deep section in front. Praying for mild wind.

I believe the fires are still out of control? Is this correct?

They are expecting it to burn for a whole week so it`s not looking good for da roadies at the funride champs this year. Throw that roadbike in da fire like at that mtb 24 hour!

wrong thread, but yes...

[Li Mu Bai]

Worry about the weather on friday, its waaaaay to early now for any accurate predictions.

Iwould be more concerned over the wildfires and the possibility of the organizers changing the route...

[The_black_stig]

Guess the chances of the race to be re-routed will be big....
