T-Bob Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Couldn't find a map or a profile for the many options. Maybe DCM007 can pull out one of his classic little numbers. Rode this for the first time last year and has to have the best final few Kms of any tar race. Something for the sprinters to look forward to for sure. Would love to give the dirt a go as well, looks good.
leona Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 theres nothing on the website about registration in the morning. there is a late entry fee so i assume its possible to enter on the day?
BrandonF_ Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Did the 47km MTB last year,...its a good climb, for 47(kill)ometers ;-)
lucmccann Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Depending on the wind this could definitely be a fast 1! Only really have Bothmas to climb, and the legs should still be fresh then.
T-Bob Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 126km profile. Jeez, you've done well. Good work.
DMC007 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Must agree on the Sprinters finish. Once you take that right turn @ robots off Main Rd....its super fast till the finish line.
leona Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 i love that.. 3 times the distance and about 1/3 of the climbing of the mtb race
BrandonF_ Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 i love that.. 3 times the distance and about 1/3 of the climbing of the mtb race That's why I MTB, you get soo much for what you pay for! Value for money 101
Jaco-fiets Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 126km profile. Thanks for the info bud! I just don't get your elevation. I highly doubt this race only climbs 600m odd. Your tour de PPA elevation said 642m and I got just over 1000m on my garmin today
DMC007 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks for the info bud! I just don't get your elevation. I highly doubt this race only climbs 600m odd. Your tour de PPA elevation said 642m and I got just over 1000m on my garmin today Well thats the data I'm getting off MayMyRide...maybe the problem is there.
'Dale Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Well thats the data I'm getting off MayMyRide...maybe the problem is there. Map' is very inaccurate.I confirm that the prob rests there.
Thor Buttox Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Last year, same route was 980m. TOur de PPA today was about 1040m. Mapmyride is always way out.
Woofie Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 My Edge800 registered 1192 meters from tour de ppa. With elevation correction it is 1278. Im expecting more from this race. I think ultimately the wind will determine the suffering though. That is a loooong stretch back if the SE is pumping.
