LuckyLuke Posted August 6, 2018 Share Windy.com says this cumming weekend we just going to miss the rain and have some 20km wind on our backsides, starting temp around 3 but warming up nicely. The area got some rain and its going to rain some more before the race. The river crossing will probably be wet.

Velouria Posted August 6, 2018 Share Soggy Bottom Boys. Pls send us the link to that Random Race Name Generator. kthx.Nope - this is not a random race name generator. This was the name of the team for the second year I did it. The first year had been a rather wet affair, and we had soggy bottoms from the minute we left Willowmore. This is me being sentimental. (Our team names for that very first Trans Baviaans were "Not UPS", and "Not Team Telekom". That's what happens when a bunch of roadies decide to take on a crazy race) (Oh yes - we had to enter by fax, and deposit money into a bank account and then fax through the proof of payment!) 15 years ago: vulgar, Escapee.., TIB and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgar Posted August 6, 2018 Share 20mm of rain in the kloof, that can only help the dust to settle....Town of Patensie water has been switched off because off dam levels being really low. So good for them hope it bring some relief. TIB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
