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?

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.

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
