in 2004 the forcast was hot and sunny for both days....

 

lets just say we got rain on the fist day after the stage and nearly got washed away... and second day was so cold we got sleet at top of swartberg pass......

 

dont believe a thing the NWS says....

September '86 I nearly froze my balls off.  We went on horseback from Calitzdorp into Gamkaskloof and back.

Last year it was so hot I think I nearly dehydrated on the second and had to sit at the Squirt water point for about an hour to get myself in some frame of mind to just continue and finish.

 

Very tough ride me thinks.
