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!

It's sunny right now, go for a ride sooner rather than later...

Don’t the organisers  look at weather reports. 

Don't you read press releases?

It quite clearly states that the decision to cancel was mandated by local government.

Weeeeeelll, technically the head angle stays the same, but the fork offset/ trail is changing for sure😜

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.

Disclaimer : was only collecting the newbie’s bicycle, but I reckon I’ll sort this out when we get Swellies🙈

Thanks to the Eagle eyed hubbers👍

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.

When will we know if Sunday is on?...
