I don't know the person that posted this (and I don't know who Greg is), but I was very tempted to pop in for a champagne breakfast at Greg's house last year: Then there are several beers stops thereafter. Maybe it's on again this year. Worth a try. Dixies ....

droo Posted Friday at 08:55 AM Posted Friday at 08:55 AM Weather predictions in CT more than a week out. That's optimistic. If you want to know what the weather will do in CT, look out of the window on the day. And if you don't like it, wait 5 minutes. Or ride 5km. ChrisF, Robbie Stewart, Zebra and 6 others 2 1 6

Robbie Stewart Posted Friday at 09:52 AM Posted Friday at 09:52 AM 1 hour ago, The Ouzo said: First long term prediction is up Windy.com is forecasting the polar opposite from this. The safe bet is as @droo says, check on the day. The last two years I have found the weather forecasts in Cape Town to be spotty at best and downright wrong at worst. My advice for out of towners. Get some wind riding in, although I suspect it's a tad late for that now. Alliesmeister and ChrisF 2

I would be checking the weather at night, get outside the next morning to totally different weather ... But wait, there is more ... Along Bottelary the wrather would change, again over Helshoogte ... jip, more changes before getting to Franschhoek. Best one was basically windless while approaching Franschhoek, just to encounter the worst gusts towards the upper U bend of the pass. Weather predictions in the Cape .... as accurate as political promises ... SilverRider, Scary Rider, Wannabe and 1 other 1 3

Weather predictions in the Cape .... as accurate as political promises ... Gauteng has gone this way to over the last few months. I've missed so many training rides because the apps say rain, and then I see the crew rode that day with no rain. There also seems to be this strange phenomenon happening around where I stay. It will be raining around my place, but 1km down the road its dry. Last month we had a storm at work, which was 2.5km from home, called the wife at home and she says there is not even a drizzle. much confused Charles71, Scary Rider and ChrisF 1 2
