Well done - that is a vicious segment. The DH requires lots of pedaling and has some decent tech sections too. The climb has a good gradient but is really hard to get into if you push it on the downs, at least from my experience.

These okes are beasts. Went and had some fun in the weekend, improved 500 places and I'm still 4mins behind on the segment. Eish :(

they DID have the benefit of being shuttled up, which Tiaan didn't. Just makes his time all the more impressive.

There are benefits to a warm up and for fitter riders that climb doesn't take too much out of the legs if approached at a reasonable pace.

BURRRRN!

 

Ouch. But yes, you're right. :P

 

Sorry, by "fitter" I didn't mean in reference to your specific abilities. I meant the guys and ladies in the running for a top finish on a segment like this.

 

The shuttling was mostly to assist the film crew.

 

We're just glad that so many people went out and had a go on this fantastic trail.
