1 more sleep until we get to see the Windguru forecast. So far it looks calm for way too long so we'll most likely have a repeat of the conditions from this Friday.

 

Remember the long term weather conditions for the CTCT are notoriously inaccurate.

 

If good weather are predicted you can be sure the predictions will turn bad closer to the time.

 

If bad weather are predicted you can be sure it is going to turn out even worse..

eish, me no likey  :thumbdown:

Wind: SSE 20 km/h

Wind Gusts: 35 km/h

Humidity: 68%

Dew Point: 13° C

Cloud Cover: 85%

Visibility: 10 km

Probability of Precipitation: 0%

Precipitation: 0.0 mm

Rain: 0.0 mm

Snow: 0.0 cm

Ice: 0.0 mm

 

 

Looks like the bull run on Duane's entry has come off and the wind market has normalised.

 

There's a front expected middle of next week. This is probably causing a bit of fluctuation in the forecast. Hope for the best (no wind) plan for the worst (bring coffee and bagel money)

if the wind pumps I'm cruising on my gravel bike, eating and drinking

 

if it's still, I'm wheelsucking to 2777th position

 

win/win

The solution is simple mathematical one.

 

The more you drink the greater the effect of the wheelsucking.

 

Hang on one minute .....................................

 

which bike you using .... :ph34r:

and what is your start group ........ :whistling:

there's going to be some seriously qualified and ridonkulously overpaid meterologists in town next week. this kicks off on monday.

 

 

let me see if i can get some decent data from about wednesday.

if you're in town early, then it finishes on the friday will be pretty rad to watch.

Any idea when us late comers might get a seeding or do we start at the back (like we probably should)?

I have no idea. I'm gonna ride with my BIL anyway and help him through. His longest ride is 20km. It's going to be a character building day for his backside.

 

I think I'll put my mtb cleats on coz no doubt there's gonna be a little bit of walking.

You will definitely get a very detailed look at the flattened gel wrappers on 'Bossie.
