It’s not that difficult, the M13 is a nice gradual drag until Field’s Hill, then some (short) torture, and then back to some gradual drags before turning around.

Should be able to hold a rhythm on most of the M13. The two bumps between the Hillcrest off-ramp and Shongweni are short too, heading out and back.

Never been afraid a some torture

Has anyone seen Sunday's start times? GUD LUK to those who are spending Saturday night in PMB. 

And something like 70% chance of rain. Really hope that changes a smidge lower as we get closer to the weekend

No mail received yet - but if it rains - hmmm....I will likely lie in.

Yip, weather not looking very conducive to bicycle racing.

For sure - especially the nice downhills the last 40km's or so - wet roads at that speed ...no tx! Will sit on my stoep, watch the beach having an early braai!

Unless the weather is absolutely terrible, I'll ride - not driving that far to not ride :D
At least, with that amount of climbing in the first half, there shouldn't be big groups going back.
But I should probably put on new tires, just in case.

Oh I have no problem driving down for the beach, ocean, good food and company....oh yeah and some cycling (optional if it rains). Happy to skip and enjoy the time off - I really need it! Been a hectic year so far.

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow. Awesome weather today, but I don't think we will be as fortunate tomorrow. 

Going to be a challenge, but that's why we love it, isn't it?

Enjoyed the ride thoroughly! I arrived at the venue and wanted to go home badly - it was wet and cold! Yet - decided to ride and despite the rain and wind and YES climbing - it was really good fun!

It was a tough route with lots of climbing, lots of wind and occasional rain!

 

What did you record with, Neville, that the video is so long?
