Any confirmation on this??? you're probably watching on "predicted mode" what this does is calculate from all the pings every 10 minutes and puts the dot where it should be using the recent trend of riding speeds. this is brilliant as waiting on dots to refresh is just a weird leapfrog move and requires interpolation to see what is really going on. but obviously when someone actually stops. it needs to stop too! also he is on IG live ucrrently https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQIy3JJxBc/ Edited October 28, 2022 by Shebeen Suidwes Boytjie and milky4130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted October 28, 2022 Share Benky is looking remarkably fresh and strong. That ankle of his not looking great though. Brighter-Lights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitaire updates KB in 9:40 out 10:35 [55min break] AZ in 11:15 out 11:50 [35min break] so the time gap is 1:15 and 23-25km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a believer in slightly longer break equalling increased overall efficiency. I hope I'm correct. Wayne pudding Mol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Challenge, Silk Road, 1000 Miler, paddled the Zambezi from source to sea etc etc. As tough as they come. Rowl and gerriemtb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suidwes Boytjie Posted October 28, 2022 Share Benky has about roughly 20km to go and then he'll have a right turn which will give him a nice moderate tailwind. Brighter-Lights, Rowl and Wayne pudding Mol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But.... still 2300m ascent before that beer. The wind will help, a little, but much of it is a side wind, coming in almost directly from the West as he heads just to the East of North.

milky4130 Posted October 28, 2022 Share I wonder if anyone will shed some kgs off the bike weight in the last 100-0 kilometers, is that even allowed in this format or is it a case of, take no risks as anything can happen.
