Note the difference between yours and mine in the "rain" row. Wind seems normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicElf Posted October 31, 2016 Share Ummm, how do the women elites work, in terms of, they do the 125km - does one qualify to do that distance? Is it possible for a pleb to enter the longer distance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryn Posted October 31, 2016 Share 10 000km! congrats! Your congrats would have been timely 90 007km ago [emoji106] Edit: i reckon temp gauge is smoking its socks Edited October 31, 2016 by Harryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 31, 2016 Share Your congrats would have been timely 90 007km ago [emoji106] Edit: i reckon temp gauge is smoking its socksThere were three of us in the car, and 2 of us would ride the single track sections before resuming the marking from the luxury of the car (aircon). I can tell you that it was uncomfortable on the bike, with very little wind blowing - my mates Garmin showed 44, but that is also open to debate.

Long Wheel Base Posted October 31, 2016 Share Your congrats would have been timely 90 007km ago [emoji106] Edit: i reckon temp gauge is smoking its socksAt the beginning of the year we had a heat wave like this and myself and a few mates where bragging about how hot it was on our afternoon rides, I was getting around 39 on my garmin so I decided to stop and put my garmin on the road for a bit. Wasn't long and it hit 48. I picked it up before it stuffed the thing up.So if the car had been standing out in the open for a while and the sensor was close to direct sunlight it may be right. But I am sure as soon as they started moving it would have come down. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 31, 2016 Share We were driving at about 20-25km/h and watching the temperature climb. Stopped so I could take a photo without the shaking. This was in the bush, on jeep track with more grass than sand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibali Posted October 31, 2016 Share Gerald, quick question (not sure if it has been asked, tried searching). Was the Satellite Classic used for seeding for the race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
