I see they have a pool in Stellenbosch, will see if can scoop some water into the bucket

Good thing is the wind does not seem to look too hectic for Sunday, first time in 2013 it took me 2 years to forget. The other good thing is unlike some previous years my legs will be a bit fresher, no STBB MTB this Saturday.

 

I will also never make the mistake again of chancing it and skipping the Paardeberg lay by water point, cause it's a long stretch from there to Koelenhof. As per the PPA email, do make sure you have enough water.

 

Still looking at 6+ hours in the saddle though...

 

If it gets cancelled due to heat I can skip Kromme Rhee and Slaley and just head straight down the R304 to the lower entrance of Welgevonden, my house is 200m from there. Hope it does not come to that though. 

 

I also prefer extreme heat to extreme wind - easy enough to sunscreen, hydrate and aircool yourself.

 

Don't think they'll cancel entirely, rather they'll make all the 170km entrants do the 109km route.

Sure the school at the event has showers...recall the grounds toilets being open so perhaps it'll include shower spots and you'll be in luck.

 

If not, lemon-fresh wet wipes lol and ur expensive bottle of spray

Do what I do - rock up at the party and ask to use the shower. The hosts are between a rock and a hard spot. Say no, and you're going to pong out the whole party. Say yes, and their monthly water usage numbers get all messed up...

 

Or just take some wet wipes and deodorant along for after the ride.

Collected my suicide note today(aka race number). Great seeing you again Frail, It's a pitty how many guys take the flyer you handing out and just chuck it on the table without even looking at it! See you on Sunday.
