LongDonkey Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Does anyone have the timesheet where it states if you want to ride x amount of hours, you have to reach certain stages on the route by x time? Can't find it on their website. Thanx! Split time calculator is on the pull down menu on web

Micky Mouse Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It's on this page: http://www.cycletour...ime-calculator/Maybe I'm having a very blonde moment here. Mine won't work. It's a protected worksheet, and asks for a password?
Hearts* Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Not password protected... The speed to the top of Chapman's Peak is a bit worrying...from Sun Valley turn to the top says 30km/h...Who does that with the little flat sections in that section?

Blackbeard Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 There is no wind in sun valley...... apparently!HmmmmmPerhaps that downhill section at the left turn towards Chappies is faster than we think. Its a false flat. Slightly uphill after the BP garage on the left.

No, it's not.You work quite hard to keep the pace up on that stretch. Sometimes too hard, so that the legs are a bit tired by the time you get to that little kicker at foot of "Little Chappies". You then struggle up the little climb past the "toll booth". It catches you out because the speed is quite high / pedaling a bit easier in that little dip before the climb.The next moment your'e into the climb and not ready for it. Wrong gears/dead wheel infront of you, and off goes the bunch. Edited February 28, 2014 by Wannabe Capricorn 1

I found that their times are based on a zero wind situation performed by someone a Suzuki 500, not an actual cyclist. But this being my second Argus i should be able to do a couple of checks on the calculator Wannabe 1

Stoffies1 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Off the topic of the Road Argus..Did anyone see the massive Billboard that gave us for the Argus MTB event!!! WTF is that all about!!

If you have OpenOffice, open it with that. Select Tools->Protect Document->Sheet (to untick the 'Sheet' option). Then you should be able to fill in the yellow blocks. Micky Mouse 1
