SwissVan Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Not sure if the 140 is correct as her data shows 700k and route distance 644 so roughly 60kms which would keep her in 3rd. I see her average riding pace is 15.9km/h and HB's is 18.1 km/h which is super impressive only slightly slower than AMs at 18.3. I might be guilty of starting the 140 km rumour...that's what i guestimated last nightBut looking at here trace and recalculating (in the absence of a ruler) i'll upgrade my guestimate to be about 112km...based on: 1 thumb width = 5 miles7 thumb widths = 35 miles35 miles = 56 km's56 x 2 = 112km Would have been a real interesting ladies race if it were not for this detour last night edit: added the correct thumb scale map
Stretch Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 just under 20km till GU is in the Western Cape...I hope he didnt forget his passport
Slowbee Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Some still need to cross halfway point . . . RESPECT!! these are the people that I am following - cause, these okes are going to have alot to contend with over the next few days !
Gen Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 these are the people that I am following - cause, these okes are going to have alot to contend with over the next few days !Shame .. yes.. they are real warriors
Rocket-Boy Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 these are the people that I am following - cause, these okes are going to have alot to contend with over the next few days !And by the looks of things it will be a few days!
Slowbee Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 do you think they will keep the race histories up after the event ? need to study the map ....
Slowbee Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 whole bunch of people at about the 510 km mark - that is just about half way Other folk are on the way to the finish !! But they have till sunday to do 500 km, so about right at 250km per day.
Spez247 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Reckon that GU "only" has 2x 94.7 to get to the finish.... All that SS riding has paid off. Reckon ALL these riders are in a different league. Slayers of Demons i tell you... it's so darn easy to quit when you are in the hurt chamber. RESPECT!
nathrix Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 do you think they will keep the race histories up after the event ? need to study the map .... I hope so! Already screen captured the replay and snipped it into a video just in case. Want to do another screen capture after the full 5 days of The Munga MTB.

I'm working on the assumption that the tracker measured the distance traveled. It could be that the software does not measure when you backtrack along the route you've come so if I multiple my distance by 2 it gives me an extra distance not too far off from yours. I guess we'll only know at the end.

txz201 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 GU hasnt had any updates for quite a while, wonder if he has had a mechanical?Was wondering the same thing, I hope not!
Stretch Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 right - thats me.....will do a refresh when I get home later after this beer and braai thing.....
River Rat Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I see AMs average speed has dropped ever so slightly, is she tiring?
Stretch Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 GU hasnt had any updates for quite a while, wonder if he has had a mechanical? Was wondering the same thing, I hope not! might be a water point?
