Emperors Palace Classic 2012 (Road Race)

[1hill@aTime]

Have e-mailed ASG who else do you think?

 

These things should be measured right, it's not that hard to drive the route with a GPS?(or don't they really care)?

2011 & 2012 I measured around 103km with a Garmin Edge 800.

Individual calibration errors elsewhere perhaps?

Yip 103km as well On my Polar and Strava. Same route as last yr.

[1hill@aTime]

bike computer has a slight over read so it showed 105 GPS 101, so 103 sounds right

last year they quoted there route as 99ks exactly the same this year it's 97,

no worries, all in the past!:-)

 

Well settled chaps. So easy.

We had a fight. A real one. Mixed group CL DL EL. Cruising along Rondebult at about 85 km mark . Two guys start bumping each other . One guy falls , other guy stops . Fists start flying. Both on the ground wrestling ,hitting. Group carried on . Don't know who won.

Nice race .

 

I saw a fight too. A chap I started with in HL appeared to have take another chap out. Punches were flying when I cycled passed.

Maybe theres a short cut we missed. Or all the pot holes we bunny hop so it make ride time 97km and air time 5km.

[Cyclewizz]

The route is 103km.

Last with an iBike I got 103km & this year with a Garmin I got 103km.

 

I can imagine Team Canada kicking @ss in the tandem bunch and am I glad they got a puncture yesterday :-)

Hi The lady is fine, I know her - she went to hospital - have a bad concusion - they took MRI Scans which showed no internal damage. She does have some bad bruises.

 

When I spoke to her husband last night he said that she was still under sedation.

 

PM me and I will send you her details. - I think that you are talking about Yolanda - If you got her contact details you can send it to me as well. My wife was also in that crash - They were pretty shocked
