So if a tandem is harder.... then why?

 

 

think of the bonding

[Tubehunter]

So if a tandem is harder.... then why?

 

How long is a piece of string? Why do some people race and others want to enjoy the day by taking it more leisurely? So many options and factors that go into personal preference, but that's just it! Some couples and tandem teams prefer riding on a bicycle made for two! Riding steel and 9 gears is harder than carbon lightweight and the new gear. Why do you do that?

 

Our boerewors all bends for different reasons ekse!

30km/h southerly, not that bad, 2014 was 45km/h and even that was not the end of the world.

[HdB]

Since THE YEAR OF THE WIND, I've given up on weather forecasts, and just go with what it looks like when we get to the start on the morning of the race.

 

If I see portaloos and cardboard bins flying around again, it means the wind is probably going to be bad.

Don't get to exited, this might change in the next hour.

There fixed it for you. 

 

Argus weather was predicted sometime between 1812 and 1870 already.

 

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade". Charles Dickens.

Anyone want to take a bet with me that atleast 2000(Prob More) cyclists will fall over  get blown over only 50m from the start line underneath the "windy bridge" in Town??

EVERY BODY SAY HOOOPALAAAAH

[Bub Marley]

Whatever the weather says now, freaking take it with a pinch of salt.

 

I would say start looking at forecasts when the expo opens.

[HeadDown]

...when you wake up on Race Day.

[Pure Savage]

...when you wake up on Race Day.

 

Problem is if you travel from JHB, only have 80/60 deep sections and wake up and Katrina is having a fit outside.

[Blue Monster]

Sh!t is getting real  .

Packing bike into bag for Saturday morning flight.
Not so long ago the Argus was 6 months away, now I will be riding in Cape Town on Sunday.

Time does fly.
