News bot Posted March 11, 2017 Share We have been advised that there is a high probability of severe winds on the Cape Peninsula within the next 24 hours. We strongly urge Cape Town Cycle Tour participants who are either not comfortable or do not have experience riding in strong winds, to carefully consider their decision to participate tomorrow. We believe wind conditions will not be as strong as in 2009, but they will nevertheless be severe. Cyclists and spectators must please take note.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted March 11, 2017 Share Whooot here we go .... good luck all. After battling the wind all the way to the top of Suikerbossie in 2009 (taking 6 hours), 'they' tried to close the road back to Camps Naai ... So there is a growing mass of angry cyclists being held back, then an ambulance arrives to go through which parted the crowd like Moses did the Rea Sea and a lot of us followed in its wake and carried on regardless to finish, it wasn't so bad although it took effort to cycle down the gradients with the Doctor in ur face. And surely if one has made it thus far, one had right to continue. dev null, Tatt and Bat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything but it blowing direct behind you is an ordeal - believe! And be prepared to get sand blasted heading into Vishoek - might be an idea to stop & stock up on some vis en tjips whilst you are passing so keep the spirits high for the rest of the journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
