Vetplant Posted November 13, 2019 Share Another pointless post about the weather, feels like these predictions change every couple of hours, but here it goes: Temperature: Wet or Dry: Wind: , Seems we could get it straight in the teeth once you hit the M1. But that is not news to anyone who has done this event before....the wind is always gusting on the M1 Odds are 90% that conditions will be totally different on race day, but we love to speculate... At least it does not seem to be trending towards 40°C, which is a relief. Dexter-morgan and RobertWhitehead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted November 13, 2019 Share Wind: , Seems we could get it straight in the teeth once you hit the M1. But that is not news to anyone who has done this event before....the wind is always gusting on the M1 it was always a head/cross wind on the non flipped route... I am sure 947 and Disco didnt request for the wind to be flipped too maybe we'll have a nice tail wind blowing us down there. I am leaving my accommodation till the last minute, watching the forecasts closely and also all this talk about the protests etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boab Posted November 13, 2019 Share Tail wind up a hill...leads to lots of sweating, albeit a little faster. We cyclists are never happy are we! it was always a head/cross wind on the non flipped route...

Dgas Posted November 13, 2019 Share Last year the section around the circles was a neutral zone, the race started at the timing mats as you turned onto Earling road towards Steyn City. Does anybody know if it is the same this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Boab Posted November 14, 2019 Share Thanks for this. So to confirm, our group start time is only activated when we cross the start mat not when the gun goes at the start of the neutral zone? I.e. neutral zone transit isn't part of our race time? I can confirm it’s the same as last year, neutral zone to Erling road, then across the start mats.
