Jensie Posted November 14, 2020 Share Some tips for 1st time DC riders? Riding with a fairly strong team Eat...drink...in the first 100km. usually we enjoy ourselves and the scenery and forget. Once you reach 100km and did not eat or drink enough you have to play catch up. The last 30km is a b**ch, save yourself. The rest is easy, kinda.

Pure Savage Posted November 14, 2020 Share Who will be winning this years DC? Who is the Big Name riders riding for?Alfa or hartlief, will be interesting as 10 riders and 5 to finish. Also with such a short stop there is no catching back if dropped like last year. DieselnDust and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted November 16, 2020 Share Just go till you blow..... None of the hills are particularly steep, so you can fake it on the flats the whole way easily...... Skubarra, Pure Savage and Sid the Sloth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted November 17, 2020 Share I just created this sheet with splits to see more or less what our team would have to average to achieve a sub 6h30min (Or a sub 6 if everything falls into place perfectly on the day).

Karman de Lange Posted November 17, 2020 Share I just created this sheet with splits to see more or less what our team would have to average to achieve a sub 6h30min (Or a sub 6 if everything falls into place perfectly on the day). DOUBLE CENTURY SPLIT CALCULATOR.xlsx Just maybe check, are you going todo 32km/h through the feeding zone at ashton? (don't see it included in your km's). I had quick look, its was about 15km total neutral+feeding zone (I will have to tripple check) and took us 55minutes last year to ride the roadworks, feed zone and feed. We only have 45minutes this year, had 60min last year .. edit: From website:The total neutral time allocated to participants is 45 minutes (Total distance of the neutral zone, including the Team Support Zone, is 12.5km). So its 10km of netural (max 30km/h), 2.5km of feedzone (very slow) Edited November 17, 2020 by Karman de Lange Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've allowed 29kmh for that section.. Adding the extra 1,5km neutral zone actually means we can average a bit less to get our target time. This better?
