It was pretty windy on the short lido loop this morning. Nothing impossible though. Rain won't be ideal though.

Nevertheless, see all y'all tomorrow...

Eish, that was hectic.  Nearly pulled a G Thomas on the return leg in that crosswind.

[Long Wheel Base]

I don't think I've ever ridden in such hectic wind. Last year it was bad but this year a reckon it was worse. That rivaled Argus 09!!!!! Had entered single but changed my mind this week to do tandem. My upper body is actually quite sore from fighting the bike. Looked like Rossi cornering at some stages.

Iv done this race last 4 years and it grew a lot this year.

Anyway we ended up with a 2hr 32min.

Like him cornering, knee down, but along a straight road.

After turning left at the T-junction to head back towards the Karee Kloof entrance of Suikers, the wind was pumping so hard that I had to stop twice to pull mielie leaves out of my spokes. Was even worse from the Intersection after Suikers back towards Heidelburg.
