Old school Posted March 6, 2023 Share 1 hour ago, DieselnDust said: Agreed, but me thinks they’ve given up on printing numbers at the expo and are only set up to transfer numbers. In 2023 this shouldn’t be a problem any longer. Maybe it’s just trying to create FOMO …? I phoned them and they said its possible to be done at the expo.. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split-time Calculator - Cape Argus Cycle Tour 2022.xlsx 294.12 kB · 4 downloads Apologies for being dismissive but the time split calculator is fairly useless for anything other than missing the cut-offs. Wind strength & direction on the day and the relatively big climbs in the 2nd half are huge factors, you are not going to cover the route at a uniform speed. Usually only around Suikerbossie you will know if you are on target for your sub-whatever... Edited March 6, 2023 by Skubarra Cyclosport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted March 7, 2023 Share Received this in a mail a few min ago. I know it gets discussed every year. Â Â 1A group (06h30) - 1H group (06h51) Â All groups up to 1H will be treated as having a bunch start time (ie when the gun goes, not when you cross the timing mat). All other age group prizes not mentioned above will be awarded to the fastest person irrespective of starting group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â ok - but then you must still be hoping for an "average day" for the splits to work? A few years back IÂ compared my splits with the computer and most of the times I was nowhere near the predicted splits until after Suikerbossie. I guess it's helpful to the the extent where you in control of your average speed over the route, but most of the riders in the front half of the field are not going to drop their starting groups (or drop from their groups) to keep pace with their time splits....
