Frosty Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 If you've got a GPS recording on Garmin or Strava, etc, you could send the file through to Racetec and thave your time reviewed.That was in 2013, so doesn't matter much now.
Jarl Borg Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 If anyone looking for an entry DM me. I wanna bail. I got entries for both MTB and road race. Unfortunately I'm not giving them away for free
Muttley Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Hi everyone, I am looking for a 947 entry for the driver at our office. The only reason he has not entered the race the past couple of years is because he simply cannot afford it. If you know of someone that has an entry but can't make it anymore or you can't make it and you're willing to gift your entry or sell it at a reasonable price (then I can cover the costs for him) please let me know. I did post a wanted ad but am trying to spread the word a little further. I have never had much luck with wanted ads.Well done for trying to assist here Seems like @Jarl Borg (post above this one) is selling his

Fat Boab Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Has anyone seen a pace sheet on the website yet?
Frosty Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Has anyone seen a pace sheet on the website yet?Go to https://www.bestbikesplit.com/ - I created a trial account and loaded the flipped route from last year. After putting in a lot of data, I played around with the figures to give me a plan for my ride. Now I want to see if I can ride at that pace, and see how accurate they are.

You going to solo ride to see how accurate it is? As it won't take into account bunch riding. I use it for my triathlons and am usually around 5 mins slower than calculated. Could possibly be down to incorrect CdA and Crr numbers as I use their norms for expected road conditions
Muttley Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Has anyone parked at Monte Casino and ridden to the venue? Last year the traffic was rubbish....
Vetplant Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Has anyone parked at Monte Casino and ridden to the venue? Last year the traffic was rubbish....What time do you start? If you arrive at around 5AM from the Summit road side it is actually not too bad and you get relatively nice parking. Otherwise, yes, Monte is a very viable option. Plenty of people have done it.

Not worried too much about the downhills, but want to see how the climbs compare.
