I'm loving the vibe here this week. Two days ago I got to climb a short section of Saaltjie with 2 swedish rides and today got to show a Frenchman and a Belgian G-spot. Not that I knew who they were haha, but still pretty cool.

 

Also went to go watch the pros practice on Tuesday, very cool to see how they plan their lines. They really are next level skilled!!

 

Oh... and Emily Batty is even more flattering in person haha

I'm going to go full on fan-girl if I get to meet Kate :wub:

 

(which would be slightly less awkward if I wasn't a 32 year old man)

Yeah. I'm the same age and feel a bit guilty when I look at her. But mein gott, she's cute.

Hate to be wet diaper, but where do you see rain forecasted.

Just want to double check before I get my hopes up.

Hey, I'm 35 and I'm in the same boat. Same as EB. 

 

No shame. Age is nothing. :P

 

Oh no, my comment wasn't about her age, it was about the fact that it's awkward for a 32 year old man to be acting like a teenage girl at a Justin Bieber concert  :P

Question, what is the Elevation Gain of the course over the 4.4km? And how quickly are the Pro's expected to smash out a lap?

Will stick my head out and say my predictions show ZERO rain. Pity. A small sprinkling would've made course more grippy and less dusty. But I think organisers will wet it a bit with their allocation of non-potable water...

Should most likely rain a bit after 8pm sometime. If it does rain earlier than that, then it would be drizzle or even lighter.

Damn, just looked at the forecast maps, Mr Hi making crap again for the rain!!
