Ai, Jai...

The weather gods seems to be frowning on the Cape Town roadies this weekend...

 

 

Saturday 12-17°C Sprinkles early. Partly cloudy. Mild.

Sunday 11-14°C Scattered showers. Morning clouds. Cool.

Monday 9-14°C A few showers. More sun than clouds. Cool.

 

Let's see. :unsure:

I say... Sort this out once and for all at the top of the climb for a K O M badge on a future ride... :rolleyes:

The loser will have to apologise and kiss the chain of the other rider's iron horse.

NO, not a wet kiss. :huh:

While we are at it - Maruis boet, where can I get a good, but not too pricey, night riding light. I got that small one but that is pretty much for visibility. I am looking for one that I can ride in the dark with / and be a torch - that'll be the pitch to my wife so I can get it ;)

Just watched SABC weather...... DARN YOU! DARN YOU ALL!!! (MariusL)

 

80% rain with 65Km/h NW tomorrow

60% rain with 35Km/h NW Sunday

 

I hope they are wrong this time :(
