[TheoG]

Is there anyone that know how muddy Steyn City trails get after the rain or been there recently to see what the state is at the moment?

Prevailing winds.

With the NW, it’s not as strong as when it’s more NE.

 

Which app is that?

Its one of the few apps I use so often and find so useful that I bought the full version.

I was at my preferred bike fitter earlier today and he showed me the same thing they use for their pre-race prep.

I need to make my way to Auckland Park after the race and was thinking of just riding back there. Does anyone know if Nasrec road past Riverlea then crossing Main reef road will be possible for me to use. (it's  part of the route so not sure if I'll be able to get back after I finish at around 11am)
