Vetplant Posted October 17, 2018 Share Screenshot 2018-10-17 at 09.43.25.png Looking spicy... If I read that correctly it means a cross tailwind of around 35km/h on the finish straight....? Better leave the Compact at home and ride the 53/39 up those hills to be able to stick with the front in the run-in Everything up until that final left turn will be belting crosswinds from the right-hand side though Opc_danny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted October 17, 2018 Share I don't like alarmist people, so take this with a pinch of salt, but my tummy is starting to feel the same way it did at CTCT 2017... HdB and Opc_danny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HdB Posted October 17, 2018 Share I don't like alarmist people, so take this with a pinch of salt, but my tummy is starting to feel the same way it did at CTCT 2017...I'm in full stress mode, without even considering the weather... this certainly doesn't help.

Vetplant Posted October 19, 2018 Share PMB looks like nice clear start, albeit a bit chilly at 10°C Durban looks to be at least dry-ish by Sunday morning, but Wind(+-30km/h) there will be for sure, just a question of how much and how early on the route we will start to feel it. Be sure to Bunch-up everyone! Final 4 km into the finish line is still looking very fast with a cross tailwind blowing us in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final 4 km into the finish line is still looking very fast with a cross tailwind blowing us in Checked the weather this morning and was very relieved when I saw that the start looks a lot drier then it did a few days ago. As for the cold, when you come from the Free State(and Pretoria for that matter ) 10 degree ain't that cold haha Vetplant and HdB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s14phoenix Posted October 20, 2018 Share More bad news for everyone... A local staying in the area also riding has warned that the section from Thornville and Tekwani Sawmills, right up to Camperdown is riddled with massive potholes and there is no clear line through so everyone will be forced to take evasive action. Watch yourselves and others as we dont want any accidents. Apparently it was paid to be repaired but the repairs did not get done. This last piece of info came from a race route official. now we not just fighting the weather but bad road conditions also. *forgot to pack winter kit as it did not compute going to Kzn in October and have kit for cooler conditions... Good luck everyone!!! Edited October 20, 2018 by s14phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeekendWarrior80 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Will there by any live TV or streaming?According to the DSTV TV guide, there won't be a live broadcast of the race tomorrow, but there should be a broadcast of the race at a later stage. bunkermonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
