I'll wait for Epic Ride weather to be able to forecast for the day (currently its to far into the future for a forecast from ER) i just hope the wind that we've been having lately stays away on the day.

dave303e Posted November 5 Posted November 5 you know 947 ride joberg is coming up when all of a sudden all 4 wattbikes at virgin active are always busy. Middle of July they were barely touched. WR 1.0 1
Sandro Posted November 5 Posted November 5 Looks like the mtb ride will be much cooler on sunday at least. Last year the heat was a nightmare that day.

Frosty Posted November 5 Posted November 5 I went out last year, after racing “lap 1” to meet up with friends at the top of Jan Smuts. I left the Team Vitality hospitality area at 09:03 and recorded an average temp of 33°C and a high of 38°C. Got home just before 13:00.

I had a 9:50 start time last year and did 4 hours through that midday heat.. (i say 4 hours, there was some change on the less favorable side of that number 😉🤪🤣) First time doing the full race.. it was harsh.. that Coca cola at the end hits hard.. Dexter-morgan 1
