Red Zone Posted March 2, 2015 Share If the fire is out by the weekend, then surely the ride can still go aheadI think the concern is that Chappies may be destabilized due to the burning of vegetation and damage to catch nets and stuff. Ou Kaapse should have no such concerns but it wont be very pretty over there gwhite, Bubbles_25, Oufy MTB (Roadie) and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted March 2, 2015 Share Other big problem with regards to the wind, will be billowing clouds of ash / soot on certain sections of the route. Can be dangerous and a health risk for people with asthma / chest ailments. edit: spelling Edited March 2, 2015 by Wannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Zone Posted March 2, 2015 Share I have always wanted a sub three on the detour, horrible and harder route, but at least there is something to shoot for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
