FlyingScot Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Sure? Does the front of A use 50 34? Just saw some of the downhill speed. I can push 63kmph at 120 cadence but that's it. I reckon you should be fine...rather be comfortable on the climbs and suck wheel down the hill...
Patchelicious Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Sure? Does the front of A use 50 34? Just saw some of the downhill speed. I can push 63kmph at 120 cadence but that's it.The only long down hill is towards the end of Stage 2, but the group would more than likely have split up by then. You should be fine. AAAANNND in any case, with your bike you could just freewheel slipstream

IdeJongh Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 YR shows nice and toasty temps (remember sunscreen) Wind looks good as well, off the left for the first stage but clears up towards mid day. Maybe bit of a tail wind heading back to Nelspruit
Bianchisti Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Wind is blowing a gale in Nellies. Argus type stuff. Not for the fainthea... unfit I mean
Jay_B Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone traveling through later today from JHB, take it easy and allow extra time. Roads are very busy... Word of advice stay left on the N4 split at machadadorp
the_roadie Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone know how the tog bag service will work tomorrow at the start? Where do we drop off our bags and what time?
Bianchisti Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Tough first day in the headwinds. But did I mention it's my first time in this part of the country. Absolutely blown away. See you next year Nelspruit. To those driving, please stay safe and have a great ride tomorrow.
Patchelicious Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 4.5 hour drive here from JHB..... And that's the ok part. Worse, I didn't pack chamois cream
