947 Cycle Challenge 2019

[Carbon_Kooi]

The lady winner in A has duplicate results for 947(group A and H) road and 25km MTB (A1 and A8). I suspect she has 2 chips registered in her name which someone else used. 

Yip. The faster times is for a gent I would assume is her husband. His strava times correlates with those on racetec.

Its so obvious I do not think its deliberate, although a red flag should have shown after the MTB race held a week before. 

[Carbon_Kooi]

Yeah, I doubt it was deliberate.

[Frosty]

Looking at the results from A, if felt like there were more than 290 in the start group. And at least those three ladies didn’t finish in front of me, imagine what my mates would be saying... [emoji4]

[Long Wheel Base]

I guess so.

 

Looking at this year's 947, there were 3 women in the A batch, placed 221,231,269 out of 290.

Berge en Dale in my opinion is a small race, this year two ladies made it in the A bunch. The one is an elite athlete for years (she came 3rd in the 947 this year). The other one lost touch with the group about halfway.

 

yeah, I think I'll drop Ashley on the short steep stuff, not on the long climbs no.

 

Just a note: The results places a lady in the A batch at 2h37m25s, that was not a lady.

Have you ever raced against the top SA lady riders? 

Do you race vets? What age group?

[Ozzie NL]

Exactly. Some girl I know of (not very strong on MTB) was “racing” faster from A batch than the elites. Obviously there is some pushing and helping from the guys...

I think you're missing the point that in elites they ride for position and not the fastest possible time (as in all racing bunches), ie if the whole bunch slows down, there is no point in going fast and there is a whole lot less co-operation int he bunch as they are riding against each other.

As I said earlier, I was stating the facts on the topic at hand.

I do not think we need to elaborate any further on my personal abilities.

[RobertWhitehead]

But what else are we going to speculate about and discuss until Friday  .

Can I start a rumour that there were one or 2 people who rode e-bikes in the non-ebike groups...?

 

That should keep us busy?

Ok so that is a No, No, N/A. Just as I thought.

May I ask why you feel the need to get personal when a general topic is being discussed?

This is the Hub, if you're going to claim to be able to drop Ashley, you better be able to back it up or put on your fire suit. And it's not even Friday yet

My biggest cycling achievement is rolling across the finish line next to Ashley at last years edition of 947. 

 

She was riding with one of the charity DL groups, so probably a Zone 2 recovery ride for her
