LoveMyRide Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Looking at the histograms it looks like its a 5 min poll interval with a data push if there is cell coverage. It changed a little in some of the areas close to mountains which Im assuming affected cell coverage.Those average speeds are going to climb quickly for GU over the next bit.Only able to catch up now. No cell signals where they are. Maybe around the towns, but once you get over the first hill out of Sutherland nothing. Down in the Tankwa Karoo, nothing. Been like that most of the ride. The spot trackers are using satellite technology, not just for determining position, but for comms coverage too.

nathrix Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Oh no.. shame man. Same spot where CvZ called it quits
LoveMyRide Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Mine is not a calculation at all it's just based on what the X axis on the speed distance plot says for the athlete. 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.Like the rule of thumb method. Google maps makes it 67.5km each way for the detour, total 134km.
Gen Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Same spot where CvZ called it quitsOh man.... Any further news on what happened to CvZ
TALUS Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Hell, it even hurts me when they have to call it the day.

Fly2High Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Race withdrawal:24.1. If a rider elects to withdraw from the Race due to medical reasons andis unable to continue to a Race station, the rider must notify eitherthe Race organizer or someone from the medial team and a vehiclewill be dispatched to collect the rider and transport him to thenearest Race station. This vehicle will only carry the rider requiringmedical attention. Alternatively, the rider requiring medical attentionneeds to push the SOS button on his tracking device which will actionan emergency vehicle being dispatched to the GPS location of therider. On pushing this SOS button the rider will no longer be able tocontinue in the Race.24.2. If a rider wishes to withdraw from the Race for reasons other thanmedical, he can only make this decision at a Race station. Maybe that is why they withdraw at a race station ....
