DJR Posted November 11, 2013 Share Training basically under the belt now. Last hard ride yesterday. Now starting to taper for the big day. Team kit ready, team admin (hopefully) done. Started praying for a cool, overcast windless day. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydude Posted November 11, 2013 Share Not 100% correct, but it gives you a good indication of the elevation difference. I'll add 94.7 after this weekend. DARK KNIGHT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted November 11, 2013 Share I got 2445m In a nutshell.......that 2445 m climbing, 202 km, and the fact that our combined age equals geological time, is why we are aiming for 8 hours and praying for a good cool windless day. If the snakes benefit too, that's OK with us racing tortoises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
