Karman de Lange Posted November 1, 2016 Share Seeding beta of 1.02 .. last year 1.26 .. but the winner was 15min slower than last year giving up on understanding the regression of the polar mean line intersecting the linear flow of the ozone depletion coefficient .

Last year's Durbie dash was actually 1.06 beta but PPA increased all the beta's of their races during winter to boost our seedings it seems. But I agree this year was much tougher than last year. winner last year did 2h10 and this year 2h20 so clearly beta should be higher than last year.

By how much did they adjust the winning time last year and this year - one should always look at that together with the beta andydude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapunzel Posted November 1, 2016 Share Speaking of roadies, why is it that I still see so many mountain bikers in skin tight roadie pants and not the more descent and self respecting MTB shorts?in that wind I would have taken off like a blimp with a pair of baggies on. Seriously, haven't found anything vaguely comfortable for more than 2 hours in the saddle - always catch across the top of my quads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted November 1, 2016 Share I have two pairs, Fox Ranger with the separate inner and Capestorm with built-in inner. Rode the One Tonner with the more baggy Capestorm on my road bike and after that I threw out my last set of roadie pants. Let's start making cycling cool again - bring in the baggies! Yes, I'm circumcised - but I don't need bicycle pants to advertise it. Edited November 1, 2016 by Rouxenator Rapunzel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted November 1, 2016 Share Speaking of roadies, why is it that I still see so many mountain bikers in skin tight roadie pants and not the more descent and self respecting MTB shorts?I've learned not to judge on appearance. I've been passed by ooms in PT shorts and those safari sandals before, and I've been dropped in the ST by a tannie 20 years older than me as well, who was riding a hardtail. babse, andydude, Rouxenator and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankie99 Posted November 2, 2016 Share By how much did they adjust the winning time last year and this year - one should always look at that together with the beta So last years actual winning time was 2h10 and adjusted to 2h00 beta of 1.06 This year actual winning time 2h20 and adjusted to 2h18 beta of 1.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted November 2, 2016 Share Ah, female you say? Then tighter fitting is better. Not just any female.One of the most hardcore/talented ones around (many a man has challenged her on the trails, and regretted doing it)And then she is a honey also.....

Skubarra Posted November 2, 2016 Share So last years actual winning time was 2h10 and adjusted to 2h00 beta of 1.06 This year actual winning time 2h20 and adjusted to 2h18 beta of 1.02 So without doing the actual math I would say that for people who finished near the front of the field in 2016 would get a relatively better seeding index than 2015 because the larger beta last year was offset by the larger adjustment in winning time. How PPA decides on these things is beyond me despite Savage's valiant attempt to explain this to us on the One Tonner thread. Bankie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
