BrandonF_ Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Does anybody know what the total ascent is for the 42 km? I'm sure I read somewhere its about 1300m..
New Landy new life Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Last year I started in D which I thought was way too high and ended on a 4h06 for the 60km. This year they stuck me in C group ! - that cant be right? I wonder if one is allowed to start further back or is there not much chance I am going to hold back faster riders?
Dicky DQ Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 You can start in any group as long as it is equal to or lower than you seeding.
Thor Buttox Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Does anybody know what the total ascent is for the 42 km?Last year was 921m.
'Dale Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Last year I got caught up in a huge bottle neck just after the first big clime, probably 8km into the race. Can this be avoided by trying to get over the first climb as quick as possible, or will there be traffic either way? Last year we sat there for probably 15-20 minutes, barely moving. It would be such a great single track if there were no congestion! 15-20 mins... Yoh!
Gideondv Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 They have changed the start times with 10min between groups instead of 5min... Also that section is a neutral zone now so wont affect your time.
BlinkFan Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) They have changed the start times with 10min between groups instead of 5min... Also that section is a neutral zone now so wont affect your time. Wonder how many people are gonna forget to tag back in at that neutral zone... I think the 60km racing snakes will catch me way before that bottleneck. So I apologize in advance ;-) Edited August 2, 2013 by BlinkFan
SeaBee Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Traditionally the AMARider guys put their tag points on places where you don't fly past - and you hardly can miss them.
Matts 300 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I'll most probably need to stop for some rest, so won't be a problem for me ;-)
Cassie Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Weather looking good, guys!! :thumbup: GOOD luck all...
