mikkelz Posted April 5 Posted April 5 The forecast already changed. Maybe we can finish riding before the worst of the rain (and wind). 🤞

(Pathfinder, G-one RS, Cinturato H, Terra Speed, Caracal Race). hell, in the dry, you'd be fine running a 35mm Mondo or Cinturato Velo. the rain will have its own say. I'll be running a Cinturato H rear and M up front, but thats all i run... i'm not going to win, so i'm not going to overcomplicate bike riding. mikkelz 1

JuliBoB Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I did a ride (3weeks back) on +-30km of the route on my Checkpoint and roads were fine. There are a section here and there, thats “sinkplaat se moses”, but otherwise its fine. mikkelz 1
mikkelz Posted Tuesday at 08:23 AM Posted Tuesday at 08:23 AM Absolutely pissing down in Stellenbosch since early this morning. Rather now than Saturday. 😂 Looks like a wet next two days in Riebeek-Kasteel on YR. 🌧️

Skubarra Posted Tuesday at 10:33 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:33 AM Saw on FB they are close to being sold out, should be a lekker turnout then. Looking forward to the ride! mikkelz 1
MongooseMan Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM Not convinced this forecast will stick around, but here we go… bleedToWin and mikkelz 1 1

capediver Posted Wednesday at 07:18 PM Posted Wednesday at 07:18 PM (edited) Hold thumbs...I'm in town for a change and have entered...weather better hold! Last time I entered a gravel race....😔 Edited Wednesday at 07:18 PM by capediver
Chain-L Posted Friday at 08:22 AM Posted Friday at 08:22 AM Has anyone ridden in that area after the rain? Have fitted some tyres with very little clearance....and dont really want to swop them out if its going to be dry......
cadenceblur Posted Friday at 08:35 AM Posted Friday at 08:35 AM I think it's going to be quite dry - based on warm weather leading up to tomorrow.
