Here in Hout Bay, I have seen some of the stongest SUSTAINED wind i have seen in over 20 years: the wind was vicious!
 

As predicted, it dropped earlier this morning, and at my place, is no more than the LIGHTEST of breezes, but we had 3 BIG days of wind…

I thought the forecast had gotten it wrong 'cause the wind was still.pumping early morning ... not often that the wind drops during the day.

Enjoy the calm while it lasts because it seems there's still some more wind on the way.

How are you guys progressing with this? I'm nearly half way but almost all on my trainer.

 

Also almost half way, having a rest today and back on it tomorrow, the weather should be good.. doing it all on the road, don’t have a trainer..

Clearly the guys at Versus are still cyclists. The running target is way easier!

The Festive500 run is also 50km. Did it in 2016.

5km walk to beach, in the morning, and a 5km walk to the rocks in the afternoon for sunset. 5 days and it’s done.

185km left, by far most done on the trainer.

Should get a good chunk of the remainder on the MTB tomorrow and Friday, but the weather for the weekend looks wet, so TrainerRoad and Indievelo will have to do.

Rest day today.

Thunderstorms forecasted tomorrow nogal. How bizarre in 30 degree weather. Will wrap up the challenge tomorrow with a LSD to Somerset West.

LSD..? you can’t just drop acid and say you cycled 500km, when you were actually just sat on a log, in the middle of a field.. 🤔😂
