MudLark Posted March 7, 2019 Share I tell you what – I rather ride in the wind – even quite a strong one – and on a hot windless day. You work harder in the wind but somehow it doesn't feel nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted March 7, 2019 Share power of positive thinking!! (unlikely though, kitesurfers are already planning leave till next wednesday) May find themselves marooned by Monday evening or do they need the two days to recover? https://www.windguru.cz/91 Edited March 7, 2019 by DieselnDust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted March 7, 2019 Share I tell you all this talk of wind and cancellation is creating more suspense than a Mills and Boone Novel Jase619, Allrounder, Pure Savage and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted March 7, 2019 Share I tell you what – I rather ride in the wind – even quite a strong one – and on a hot windless day. You work harder in the wind but somehow it doesn't feel nearly as bad. Clearly you lack experience of pedaling into a strong Kaapse Dokter headwind...I will take hot every time.

dannygirl Posted March 7, 2019 Share All this talk about headwind out and tailwind back - I cycled the 2009 event, and the only thing that kept me going to Simon's Town was the thought that the wind would surely be at our backs once we're over Smits...except it wasn't...

MudLark Posted March 7, 2019 Share Clearly you lack experience of pedaling into a strong Kaapse Dokter headwind...I will take hot every time. I don't know about your Kaapse Doktor but I've done enough riding into E Cape (East London area) gale force winds. You work hard and go slooowly but I find the heat to be a far bigger killer. But yes, a light breeze is always better if one has a choice. The E Cape boys say "any wind is better than no wind" and I think they are mostly right. :-) Frail.
