Patchelicious Posted November 18, 2014 Share Strava says I rode 93.9km, and it says Marianne Vos rode 93.3, she must have taken a shortcut somewhere... Flag her ride!!! No what I mean is, create a segment for the short cut and then see who rode it on that date.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryvdM Posted November 18, 2014 Share Could one not use Strava Labs to determine who used these "short cut" that have been mentioned? Yes, use the fly by and look for people with a low "s". Found a couple of people rideing parts of the route without starting at the start and finishing at the finish: http://www.strava.com/activities/219772671http://www.strava.com/activities/219857368 No cheats on my flyby though.

Frosty Posted November 18, 2014 Share I see only 21614 entrants finished the race, which is a very high rate of attrition if 33000 people entered. Wonder how many were DNF's and how many were DNS's. The sweep vehicles must have been full!According to CyclingSA's website, "During 2014, 25492 members registered with Cycling SA". This would be a country-wide figure, and I'm sure a large portion of out-of-towners weren't riding the 947. That means a lot of day licences issued - and probably a lot of these day licencees don't own a chip. So yes, it would be difficult to quantify the attrition rate. BTW - According to Racetec, I linked my current chip in 2004 (when entering for the race that year). I do remember my first 947 that I had to give the timing chip back after crossing the line - even though the results prior to 2004 show up in my profile.
