michaelbiker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Strava will always be out, especially if you are close to the edge of the mountain. It scrambles the signal. Ride the Argus and you will see that it is horribly wrong as well. Almost twice the amount of climb. I've had some amazing elevation gains going over Chappies in the past. Strava is usually only out if you use your cellphone or GPS that doesn't use a barometric altimeter. The new iPhones have a barometric altimeter, but I think Strava still ignores the altitudes reported. If you use a Garmin Edge it takes the elevation the GPS reports.

Bigmozzarella Posted August 2, 2016 Share I see TransBav organisers are making a bit of a mystery around CP 6. No kms.... "Beware of the ghost" Its been in the same place for years. They can't put it on one of the downhills after the NeverEnder - that will just cause a crash. So they'll probably put it at the top of a hill....which they've always done. It probably has to be after the Y split to ensure cyclists stay on the route. I wonder what the ghost is all about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually on a k@k steep section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim is to finish before Saturday midnight (40 minutes faster than last year). Hoping for decent weather. Excited!

Sent from my iPad using TapatalkNo Idea, I did my 1st ride after 3 months off the bike and nearly died doing 75km. So next week should be interesting. Will do a long ride tomorrow and see how it goes. Just make sure you go slow in the beginning. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!
