Rob Mortimer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Click in your ride where it shows all ride data for the Ultra. Then in the top right Corner it will show Elevation. Click on it and it will ask "Elevation Correction" just click yes and refresh the page and voila. Correct Elevation. Thanks but nothing happens when I click on the elevation? Never mind though - I did the ride, that is what counts for me Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdeJongh Posted February 1, 2016 Share Another marathon done and very dusted. Missed my sub4 by 5mins!! dammit As always a great race, but seriously.......................seriously organizers - that singletrack through the burnt veld where we zig zag up and down over dusty bumpy terrain only to emerge 100m down the road where we entered....not cool. Please take that section out, adds no value to the experience. That climb at 65km on the other hand is a BEEAAATCH on tired legs, loved seeing everyone grind up there.

marcfr Posted February 2, 2016 Share Was my first Ultra, rode it with the missus and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Also got just over 2600m ascent and completed it in 6H35. IdeJongh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did marathon on a hybrid and takkies. Was planning to ride again this year but broke a few bones 6 weeks ago. Will try for next year's race.

In fact, if you're technically competent, that little piece of track could easily afford you an opportunity to pull a minute or two gap on whoever is hot on your tail. It was there (albeit that they made a slight error and almost missed the start of it) that i managed to pull a gap on JCZA and his partner, that they almost managed to close in the last 30 km.

Great ride! Saw you again but I suffered in the final 10km and couldn't close the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baaisikilist Posted February 2, 2016 Share Great ride! Saw you again but I suffered in the final 10km and couldn't close the gap.I looked back at the 2nd last water point and thought that you two were my team mates, whom I couldn't allow to catch me, so I emptied the tank completely from there to the finish, only to discover that it was you guys and not them.Had i known, i would've waited there and the 3 of us could've worked together. jcza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
