Bat Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Did a easy ride with my wife today and past trough the graded section just after five. The dirt road then was as smooth as can be. The guys doing the road just finishing. It now started raining so as long as not to many cars drive through there tonight with the rain, the road should still be in good condition tomorrow.
Frosty Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Rain gauge hardly got wet let alone registered anything worthwhile. Then again, I'm 12km from the start.
W@nna-BE Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I am 7km from start and it came down pretty hard! Drizzling again now
mecheng89 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Does Anyone know if that dirt road is tarred yet?Not a chance. Gonna beÂ
W@nna-BE Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Going to be muddy if it keeps raining like it is....
Bat Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Just as a matter of interest. The dirt road and tar road we start and finish on, are all private land owned by Rand Water Board. Rand Water every year for the race fix the dirt section. They have no interest in tarring this section as it will increase motorist taking short cut trough this area. And for us cyclist using this section as part of our training rides, we also don't want that.
IceCreamMan Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Lil cold, overcast..perfect conditions ..very little wind at the mo but that will change;)
IceCreamMan Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Wind was less than last year ...nice event 3:25 ...had a minor mechanical hiccup so am happy with the time
Frosty Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Alnost perfect conditions to ride in.  Had a good workout with CL group that got away after the dirt road (I counted 11 when we turned left after the Walkerville downhill - everyone worked well together and was a pleasure to ride with them). We also picked up just about every rider we passed and dragged then to the finish.
