Slowbee Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 :clap: rob is in so much dwang when he get back! he just doesnt know it yet.
Slowbee Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 he is doing well, 20km.hr which should do nicey
GaryvdM Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 he is doing well, 20km.hr which should do nicey Yip. Remember the tracking site shows the overall average speed. I you factor in a stop or 2, the his moving speed is probably around 21-22km/h.
Slowbee Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 oh no, looks like either rob has missed a control or they have not updated yet .......
GaryvdM Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 oh no, looks like either rob has missed a control or they have not updated yet ....... Same for Nico, Salim Gerhard, and Gerrit. Hopefully just a delay in db update. I'm sure it will be sorted. I know Rob and Nico joined up at CARHAIX after Nico sorted out his mechanical issue. Most of our riders have gone through Brest checkpoint. Wimpie van der Merwe already passed LOUDEAC on return (782 km) Worred about Kenneth's progress.
Underachiever Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Wimpie van der Merwe already passed LOUDEAC on return (782 km) Go Wimpie!!!!
Slowbee Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 most be a DB issue, rob is doing well just gone through CP VILLAINES. no other data to go on and he is missing alot of CP's.
GaryvdM Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 most be a DB issue, rob is doing well just gone through CP VILLAINES. no other data to go on and he is missing alot of CP's.They have put the out time in for the back for all riders for VILLAINES. (Check the times)
Slowbee Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 do you think Rob took a sleep at Carhaix ? his avg took a knock and he seems to be sitting at 16km/hr surely that is cutting it fine?
