fabs Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I will be riding with 3 "noobs" how can I flag myself or them for others to know, they are first timers and just to be a bit more careful around them? You can buy those big "L"'s they use for learner drivers, and cable tie them to the backs of their helmets
Wez-O Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 If I can remember FALCO mentioned it being calculated @ +/- 1,400 meters...give or take a few meters.Not to flog a dead horse, but I still don't get where this "additional 400m of elevation gain" comes from???The old route was 1,400 meters as well...

Long Wheel Base Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Does anybody have the splits to achieve a time?Do those things work? What do you do if your wanting say a sub 3 and at half way you see your 10 min behind? Do you make a solo break from your group or re adjust your target time? Personally I wouldn't worry about splits. Just push as hard as you can and then when your done in 3h01m you know you went all out and couldn't do any better so still be happy you finished. I guess it depends a lot on what group your in. I'm riding VA for 947 and all ill be focusing on is holding on for dear life and just finishing alive will suit me, regardless of time.

Precisely...I think this year the elevation is just a bit more STEEP...but as far as I heard a few guys mention the last few years being between 1250 and 1300 meters...but I can not confirm that. Just take it as it comes...

Agree, for any time goal you can ride solo maybe it works, anything sub-3(?) and faster it's useless rubbish, just hang on to your group and hope they can pull you towards the time you are hoping for. I compared my Argus time splits to the "official" chart splits and it was very different, only similarity was the finish time...

Long Wheel Base Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 If you split a sachet of honey you are guaranteed sub three .How many hands must I use?
Wyatt Earp Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 How many hands must I use?One, always one.
Long Wheel Base Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 One, always one.Agg I think I prefer the "fresh" milk idea anyway. I hear they will be supplying it at all 947 water points this year. AND there goes my sub 3. as well as over hydration.
Dexter-morgan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 One, always one.and when it is mother's milk?

Long Wheel Base Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 You you get a choice of which tit to suck from......Only if you get there first.
Wyatt Earp Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 You you get a choice of which tit to suck from......I never got an answer whether we could have it straight from the source or not, so I am not too sure if we will be given an option.
