HBO Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Cape Town locals speak up... When the wind howls like it is (apparently) at the moment, what are the chances of it 'blowing out' come Sunday against all predictions..?The chances are very good that it will blow out by Sunday.......but it is just as good that it will pick up again before Sunday Honkdonk 1

TALUS Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I only realized I was missing my tag going up Helshoogte. One of the event personnel checking bikes before entering the start shoot also missed it. A mistake I will never repeat! Not only did you not have a tag but you were WAY off course... Wannabe, NickGM, HBO and 3 others 6
'Dale Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 How times have changed. Bell super. DH top and a Camelback. Also DX pedals on a borrowed Scott roadie. I've gone full roadie since. IMG-20170309-WA0000.jpgSo proud of you, my sonI have tears in my eyes
HBO Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Not only did you not have a tag but you were WAY off course...hehe, probably wanted to take a shortcut and took the wrong turn-off. Sometimes karma acts quickly

splat Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 by what time today do you think there will be a post complaining of the goody bag and the expo ? even better, who is going to be the first one to post a pic of the goody bag AND complain.i haven't looked at my goodie bag yet, but after standing outside for an hour, I couldn't wait to get out of there again.Expo itself was spread out for miles around the bowels of the stadium. Some cool stands, some empty ones.
Suidwes Boytjie Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 If i cycle to the expo on Saturday for race pack collection... what do you do with your bike? Are you allowed to take it in with you or is there a safe secure place where you can leave it or is it not advised at all. Sorry, first CTCT.

mrcg Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Most accurate predicter is windguru.cz. Gives wind prediction for various points along route.Sunday looking very miff. Very strong winds predicted: gusts over 40km/h! Great once over Smitwinkel (tail wind), dodgy on way there and patches where it comes hurtling over the mountain passes around Chappies and towards town.If i wasn't using it as a training stage for Epic i would consider cancelling.....Not fun Gunu 1
