Frosty Posted September 16, 2014 Share I've ridden the route (excluding the start/finish road) twice in the last 5 weeks - both times the wind was blowing from different directions, and both rides were equally easy/hard depending on the wind direction. That's the beauty of a figure-of-8 route. FWIW, the total ascent from my race last year shows:Strava - 583mEndomondo - 754mGarmin Connect - 543m Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/143149-rand-water-race-for-victory/page/3/#findComment-2425235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotiringer Posted September 16, 2014 Share Weather according to Windguru looks very *** with 5am winds of up to 40km/h Don't know how to paste the screenshot but you can take a look at this link http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=383597&sty=m_spot Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/143149-rand-water-race-for-victory/page/3/#findComment-2425342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro Posted September 16, 2014 Share This used to be a great ride when the long route went through SBR and you didn't need a 4*4 to get through the mud. Such a pity.

Also, winds from the NW, N and NE are standard in this part of the world. Just another day on the bike in the souf.
