Slowbee Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 One of the chicks screamed at me to be careful when I went past on the steepish descent before the Hells queue. I was equally polite and told her that it would be easier if she let her brakes go a little. Didn't look back to see if she appreciated the advice, lol you turning into a racing machine .... !

But if you look a bit down you'll see all kinds of interesting things.

Tiny K Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 My Garmin's stats for the 60km: Elevation gain: 1,531mLoss: 1,518mMinimum: -2m (must've been through that one mud hole or under the bridge )Maximum: 437m On garmin connect, click on elevation correction. it uses barometric pressure to calculate ascent and descent meaning that if the pressure changed slightly, your elevation data would be inaccurate. Just a bit of fyi On that note, lemmie go check mine
eitan Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I see that the winning time for the 60km is 1:28:47. That's is either a mistake or we have a new mtb champ in the making that we didn't know about.
SeaBee Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, saw that and thought I'd be more than happy if I did that on a road bike! Same with 42's, also some sub 1 1/2 hour rides there, if I remember correctly.

It's not the average gradient that kills me, it's those nasty 15-20% little monsters that make up the climb that really break me. It was a tough ride for me, but still proud I was able to finish in one piece and starting to see some improvement. Gravel Travel 75 next!
