ASTANA Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 IF YOU CAN RIDE IN THE WIND ---- YOU CAN RIDE ANYWHERE
andre_ct Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 also depends where exactly u riding in the cape.wind was pumping by muizenberg yesterday morning after 7am
Minion Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 So, given that it's looking more and more like it's going to be windy, what are your opinions on using deep section wheels like Zipp 404s? Headwinds are fine, but what are the crosswinds like? I haven't been in CT, in the wind, since 1995 so I really have no idea what is like. Is it steady, gusty, nighmarish (understanding that we don't really know what wind is here in JHB)?  What do you think? Bring the 404s along or leave them at home?Â
CaptainDura Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 according to windguru the wind is not going to be that strong on sunday. it looks like its going to be perfect and balmy. 13 knots of south-easterly wind.   this is not very strong at all and normally quite constant. still strong enough though to make you work very hard in front  Â
BendeBeer Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Now please stop with all the predictions for WIND, BOYES DRIVE MAYHEM etc. You are starting to scare this Argus rookie (I want my mommy)
willy Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009  Now please stop with all the predictions for WIND' date=' BOYES DRIVE MAYHEM etc. You are starting to scare this Argus rookie (I want my mommy)[/quote']don't forget about the landslide on Chappies Â
andre_ct Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 some sites....show 40km/h winds....so i will wait till saturday to see sunday's predictions....u just cannot rely on their predictions anymore
The Ant Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Sho you guys are making me nervous!!!!!Landslide on Chappies??13 knots south easter???Boyes drive!What does it all mean!!!Bearing in mind, I have never spent any time in the fairest Cape, let alone ridden a bike there!!!
mon-goose Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 hey the ant my advise is: go as hard as you can for the first half of the ride and really push yourelf into the group. The second half is flat and easy with a tail wind the whole way
BendeBeer Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 don't forget about the landslide on Chappies  Oops forgot
BendeBeer Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 don't forget about the landslide on Chappies  forgot about that!
The Ant Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Mon-goose!Thats sounds good!!!Ride like a bat out of hell and ease up on the home stretch!Thats a simple enough plan of action! Thanks!
leet2269 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 What wind is dead calm outside with temp of about 35. Very nice weather.
Bionic man Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Mon-goose!Thats sounds good!!!Ride like a bat out of hell and ease up on the home stretch!Thats a simple enough plan of action! Thanks!  It's the home stretch that gets you, save some mojo for the end bits
javadude Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009  hey the ant my advise is: go as hard as you can for the first half of the ride and really push yourelf into the group. The second half is flat and easy with a tail wind the whole way Now that must be the very worst advice I've ever heard. Â
parabola Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Its much better riding early in the morning. But yeah this is Cape Town its basically bl@@dy windy 90% of the time. You get used to it. Except for today as its scorching outside right now, and the only wind is the fan blowing in my office Â
