Shebeen Posted June 29, 2015 Share I would love to get hold of last night's tracklogs and out them in a replay simulator. Didn't see anything from Andrews track, but can maybe guess where Tim went. He probably got disorientated and over estimated how far he had actually travelled up the kloof, there is no frikken way he would have done that on purpose!

Shebeen Posted June 30, 2015 Share going back to yesterday, i think tim went up here here's another view of it - you can sort of see a route http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xwX1cQAjlEw/U8tc4ZxaSsI/AAAAAAAAY30/9Wu67UPG2Y4/s1600/DSC06634.jpg then there's this way up but wouldn't really be possible looking where he ended up?http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PcOMn2KTnUI/U8tbeSzdtHI/AAAAAAAAY3g/AX45YZVhsBM/s1600/DSC06642.jpg picture credits - FC FB page and here - http://www.jilloutside.com/2014/07/race-across-south-africa-part-eleven.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantc Posted June 30, 2015 Share Looks like Theo is on the move again, and took the same route up the kloof as Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted June 30, 2015 Share Looks like Theo is on the move again, and took the same route up the kloof as Timyup. cruising in for 4th place, well done! got some intel. theo has scouted this route before, tim was just the first to do it in the race. it's a toughie. really really steep scramble and you gain more altitude than the conventional path. BUT by getting higher quicker you avoid the choked up valley. Tim didn't reckon it saved time, but he did it blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted June 30, 2015 Share here is the comparison with rough routes. doesn't really look like it from here, but it's moere steep! about 1:10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzieQ Posted July 1, 2015 Share Mike Roy's tracker isnt showing up, I am hoping he is with John Bowen - especially after his back wheel trouble yesterday. Go Mike and John Go!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
