sort of totally unrelated, but thought I'd throw this comment in here:

 

Twenty years ago, the Dusi K2 years used to have almost 1000 boats finishing (977 in 2002, 969 in 2004, and 970 in 2006) but with the steady decline in participation ever since, only 207 boats finished this year. The Dusi may not attract the same sort of numbers it used to, but it remains as iconic as ever and all who went will tell you what a fantastic event it still is. Well done to Andy Birkett and Matt Fenn on taking the win ahead of local favourites Mtolo and Khwela by over 6 minutes. Andy is now just one win away from equaling the Popes incredible record of 15 Dusi titles.

In this context, I wonder if "Dusi Guts" has a lot to do with the decline in numbers, presuming not a lot of people are willing to do it just to have explosive diarrhoea right after.

How is the weather looking Sunday ? 

 

Wearing out the refresh button ....

 

 

 

Bigger picture -

 

Past a cold front by Friday.

 

 

Hot weather by Monday.

 

 

Thus Sunday should be in the 20's, and the typical wind on the out lap.

 

 

Basically as good as it gets around here.

 

 

 

 

 

As good a guess as any ....

Wind looks rough early morning

I am only starting 8:45 so maybe it settles a bit, hopefully 🤞🏼 

 

Can you send another update on Saterday please ? 😊

@Phillippe Coetzee Use an app called Windy and/or Windfinder. This will give you a better idea of the slog to Cape Point. Last I looked 20 knots of breeze – enough for white caps on the water – but not too bad. Really just classic old Argus weather.

Don't stress about the wind. The temperature looks fine, and the wind helps you on the other side of the peninsula (it actually helps you everywhere by keeping temps down).

Have a good ride. 👍

This is my first CTCT, so pretty stoked 😎

Enjoy it bud, I've been down once and DNF'd, I was beyond upset. We still had a pretty enjoyable weekend in WC though.
