fanievb Posted April 17, 2015 Share OK so rain through the night. No doubt it's going to be cold. How will rain affect the route? My experience riding in the area in rain is limited to hell & back, and there wasn't really any mud but the sand turned into a nasty grinding paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience riding in the area in rain is limited to hell & back, and there wasn't really any mud but the sand turned into a nasty grinding pasteAlso haven't ridden here in the rain, apart from doing the annual road race in Oct 2013 in pouring rain. But that was Tarmac!I only recall a stage of the Cape Pioneer Trek in 2013 where it was coming down in buckets. The top part of the gravel surface was loose and caused havoc, clogging up drivetrains etc! A mechanical nightmare and so also credit card suicide!Maybe because it's been raining since yesterday morning, it'll be OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
