GreatGusto Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah, my ascent was high on Strava too. They must have some dodgy data.
Cacher Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 My Polar RS800cx (set to 5s interval timing) measured 1720m whilst the Blackburn cycling comp measured about 1800m, so I reckon we did 1750m of climbing.
Jet A1 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I tracked 2 599m of ascent on Strava and when I uploaded the file to Garmin Connect it indicated 2 369m of ascent and that was with elevation correction. I did get 97.0 kilometers though which seems pretty much on the numbers...
Skubarra Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I had 1757 on strava, interesting that some got such high ascents
johanpre44 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 My Garmin measured 1800m, but once corrected on Strava the number was also in the region of 2500m.
reteid Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 at registration there was a 29er ss with rigid fork.wonder how that felt but the bike looked awesome.had a red race number on it.
Rydogg Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 If you ride along the face of a mountain like in the K2C, the gps only has to be 1m off and it thinks you have dropped 100m down into the valley. And then climbed back up again. Of course it's going to be wrong.
GLuvsMtb Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 If you ride along the face of a mountain like in the K2C, the gps only has to be 1m off and it thinks you have dropped 100m down into the valley. And then climbed back up again. Of course it's going to be wrong.Both Garmin and Polar use Barometric data for measurements. Problem is when you click on the 'correct my ascent' option.
bj horn Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 This is what happens if you go down Simola to fast
milky4130 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 This is what happens if you go down Simola to fasteish what did he hit?
masterj Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 He hit 2 people at the top. Both of them lost both legs.
Bernard Horn Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Lost control at 250km\h ,smacked into 2cars and 2 spectators.Part of rally from JHB to CT for high-end cars that were doing Jaguar hillclimb that was being advertised by the big billboard on top of Simola hill.
Brian Fantana Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 He hit 2 people at the top. Both of them lost both legs.That is terrible. Hope the organiser of that event has his event insurance and speed limit waiver in place, otherwise he is going to face a legal battle of note.
