Rand Water Race for Victory

[AryM]

Thank you Buddy! (Blue Monster, Much Appreciated)

Thanks again Guys

 

BL it is.....

[Frosty]

Just received my Shova start group (A) vs R4V (CL).

Still comfortable/happy to ride in CL on Sunday

[W@nna-BE]

does not make sense at all 

[bmw1za]

Starting In AL (not looking forward to the Hurt )... Dropping To C feels like a Plan (grrrrrr).

Chest Appears all healed(crossing fingers), Tired of lame excuses for a bad races.

 

I foresee interesting breakaways in all bunches in spite of the wind

[RastaMan]

You can drop but it sounds like there are all mixed up groups

 

they way i see it if you start early and a group of your pace comes along you can jump on

But if you start to late you might be on ur own.

 

Iys a pity though

Daleen has just confirmed that numbers can be collected on Sunday.

Don't want to get my hopes up but it seems the wind forecast has improved for Sunday... only gusting up to 8 km/h now

However the rain for Saturday is looking more and more prominent, not good for the dirt section

How bad is the dirt/mud section when it rains? Should I be using my training bike?

Only if it is a Spez Epic

I didn't do the race two years ago when it rained the night before but apparently it was an absolute stuff up for the majority of the guys who were on road bikes.

 

Last year was no rain and the road was graded before and I found it better and smoother than some sections of tarred roads I have come across.

Collected my number at Suzuki "iPOP" in Rosettenville today    thanx for the Friendly and Helpful guys and gals there...a pleasant collection indeed   this will be my collection point from now on for this race...much better and more smiles than other collections I've been to.

 

 Now we just wait and see how the weather will pan out on Sunday   

[rvdm1]

The seeding is totally messed up. I am seeded in a later group than all of my riding buddies despite having a way better seeding index, to make it worse, in the email my group is FL only to find out after number collection that it is now GL...sigh

[Frosty]

Unless it absolutely rains cats and dogs, stop worrying about the dirt road.

 

I rode in GL 2 years ago, and yes it was fairly muddy but it was still rideable after all those bunches before had been through.

 

The sub-surface is fairly compact/hard and with the grader/rollers working there before race day, the dirt road is exactly that... a dirt road, not a mud-fest single track

Glad to hear, thanks.

this is what my bike looked like after the 2012 race, last year was fine as there was no rain 

[JLK]

Just a quick question.. how exactly does the crossover work on the figure 8??
