Rowl Posted July 28, 2023 Share 37 minutes ago, Shebeen said: Very tough pill for organisers to swallow - I wonder what forecasting they're looking at. this does not look like a monster storm from my desk. Postponing by 24hours is an option, the poor organiser has paid for most of the stuff already. We're actually using the race as training for our adventure race team, so we're looking at going for a ride tonight whilst it's still decent anyway in the view that they will be forced to cancel on the sunday. if the postponement happens we are a bit undercooked for such a double day of effort! 13 minutes ago, throttles said: Enroute to Swellies 🫣 It's sunny right now, go for a ride sooner rather than later...

edgarblount Posted July 28, 2023 Share Wind is picking up. Aparantly the wind at Malgas is the main concern. Rumour has it that they are trying some rerouting for Sunday. Let’s wait and see. Oufy MTB (Roadie) and throttles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etienne_jordaan Posted July 28, 2023 Share I’ve been to registration. Swellendam is clear skies. Bit of a breeze picking up. At this stage the 200 miler is definitely cancelled, 🤦♂️, but we have the option to ride any distance on Sunday if the event goes ahead. As mentioned 1 big issue is the pont. So re-routing will definitely happen. Mtree, Oufy MTB (Roadie) and Rowl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
