Yeah not packing it in just yet. I realise it's a % chance of rain at that mm, and these things do seem to back off as time goes on (they over-forecast to cover themselves?). Just tired of either riding a 15kg bike with no brakes or not finishing, which has happened more than I would like in recent times...Dont be too worried it looked worse on Sunday its backing off in the prediction. Also that chart represents the chance of any rain doesn't nessecarily mean constant downpores. The prediction for today was high and they didn't get anything.Lets not be too hasty
Nah - We had a light drizzle overnight but that's all we've had for a few weeks.If Canberra and its surrounds are anything like Sydney right now, it's going to be an interesting race. We've had absolute buckets of rain coming down, and it's not forecast to let up for some time now!
Here's hoping for some serious sun - really looking forward to this race!
We're not - it's perfect. Just a slight drizzle this morning but if it's like this on race day you'll be loving lifeIf Canberra and its surrounds are anything like Sydney right now -
That's great news. It's bloody torrential here! I've had to pull out of this event twice before so I'm hoping it doesnt get canned becuase of the weather. I'd be more than happy to do it in the wet just to say that I've actually finally done it! I'm loving the fact we get to go through Sparrow Hill! Happy timesWe're not - it's perfect.

Yeah that's where i read it too.Latest newsletter said they are routing it through Sparrow Hill.
Apologies mate, I'll stand corrected, I missed reading the newsletter. Up at Sparrow Fart and around Sparrow Hill it is...Yeah that's where i read it too.
Hey baroo - should open on Thursday.Apologies mate, I'll stand corrected, I missed reading the newsletter. Up at Sparrow Fart and around Sparrow Hill it is...
The new Kings Highway link road is still closed [as of Tuesday] but it must be close. I guess the tunnel under the new bit will link back to Orchard Road and back into Kowen via the old bit or highway, which I assume will be closed off to vehicle traffic.
Totally fine... just pretty excited to ride there as I've neither done Kowen or there before!Apologies mate, I'll stand corrected, I missed reading the newsletter. Up at Sparrow Fart and around Sparrow Hill it is...

Sounds like Stromlo might not be quite so dusty, as it usually is - can't complain about that!light scattered showers forcast for the next few days but dosn't look like much in them (this morning is meant to be the worst of it and we have had one 10 minute shower so far, with not too much else on the horizon yet - touch wood)
Should be dry from about wednesday and its forecast as partly cloudy everyday after that including race day. Course should be relatively dry if it stays like this.
I did ride the first few kms of the 50km course into Majura on saturday and it was mostly dry except 2 or 3 puddles(including a fairly large deep puddle) in the really low lying areas - most of majura was dry apart from some of the lower areas as well.
All up should be a good day for it, would be nice for the sun to break few over the coming days just to dry it up a bit more.
