walkerr Posted November 26, 2018 Share Hope this weather holds. Cool and overcast. But then also not. I want maximum satisfaction at the sharp end of the race. Tough conditions for ultra tough riders. Looking forward to an excellent race. Wind patterns look "interesting" - seems like head for the start, then cross / cross-tail for a while. Then, based on my own speed projections, back to head / cross-head somewhere around Fraserburg to the end. Definite advantage to keeping speed up and getting further into the route before that front hits and shifts the wind. Edit - also wrangling with ditching one of the layers from my bag. Current lowest night temp I'm seeing is a not-too-low 9C. Edited November 26, 2018 by walkerr taito, Sam81, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam81 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Well, I do not have a photo now with everything on. What I can say is that I weigh-in at 67kg and with my bike it's 91.7kg. That is a 24.7kg bike fully loaded with water spares etc. And no I'm not taking the freezer with...

J∆kk∆ls Posted November 27, 2018 Share Laid all my kit out at weekend to check my packing approach - probably looks like a lot, but after packing for TCR last year it feels like I'm taking nothing at all. And I've probably got backups and spares that a lot of folks would skip too Looking good, do you have lip balm? When I ride long distance I lick my lips like a cow in the karoo. I always take lip balm now as extreme weather conditions (too cold or too hot) make my lips dry out. Bat and Calculus Bikes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
