taito Posted January 12, 2020 Share One thing about the Atta is you can have all weather in one day.Raining at the start and in the mountain and the hot on the district roads or boiling at start and then misty and cool as you go into the Attakwas kloof. But its way to far away for accurate weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrenlee Posted January 12, 2020 Share I agree totally bru. The heat is horrible. Drains you of everything and beats your ass into the ground. A 40 knot tailwind would be lovely!

News bot Posted January 13, 2020 Share The South African mountain biking season starts on Saturday, 18 January, with the Momentum Health Attakwas Extreme presented by Biogen. Known as the Hell of the South, it is a 121-kilometre-long traverse of the Klein Karoo, fabled Attakwaskloof and the rolling roads through the Outeniqua Mountain foothills. It is also the traditional season opener for South Africa’s mountain biking community. Boasting UCI status, as the opening round of the UCI MTB Marathon World Series, the fourteenth edition has attracted a stellar field of local and international talent.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted January 15, 2020 Share I'm nervous with a touch of excitement - Spending the whole of Saturday in the wilderness on my mountain bike .... yes please! Also nice thing about tapering is that my legs aren't sore and I've got energy to burn ... Excited with a touch of nerves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted January 16, 2020 Share prediction : cool temps with a chance of rain toward the finish (with a head wind) i think I'll take that given the current heat in the area. 2 more sleeps JanJan and Blokman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSG Posted January 16, 2020 Share Hows the weather forecast looking chaps?Very, very humid in Groot Brakrivier the last week [emoji3062]. The heat isn't nearly as bad as the humidity. BUT forecast looks better with much cooler temps for Saturday with some rain predicted. Edited January 16, 2020 by BSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
