ahh. Thanks man. Was it 2 years ago we had serious rain/hail before and it was a mud patch? last year wasnt too bad. But still not lekker riding on the dirt.

 

Often rains the night / day before this race and this year seems no exception

If it makes you feel better they have paved the last 2 meters of the dirt road :-)

EL for me... looking forward to this ride but have my concerns with the weather forcast

 

 

Oh my word!!! AL for me.  What are they smoking.  Will drop to E group

 

 

A rather disappointing EL for me.........

 

Also in EL group...the 7:57 start is kinda late  :eek:

Anyway...let's hope for a "NOT to bad" windy day...but wind there will be!!!

Might have to bring the rain boots with for the forecasted Rain on Saturday and the section of the "dirt" road at the start   :ph34r:

My first race since 23 February...looking forward to it!

FL, any idea how many groups there are?

I did a late entry last year, and was placed in GL, and I know there were two long distance groups behind me before the shorter groups started.

Lets hope we get a solid group of guys and can work together through the wind... Its the only way to survive it. I think a solo effort in the wind predicted wont cut it.

Last year they had graded the road so smooth that it may as well have been a tar road.

I've been watching Nibali, on the cobbles, for a while now - how much further do you think he has to go before he's finished?  :whistling:  :ph34r:  :D

Jong, when he reaches the 2m long paved section, you'll know he's close. :D
