Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 did he just say 20km?   Sorry. WHAT?! yeah with the extended first section at the start it's just under 20km  Let me just replace my pacemaker quickly...
Capricorn Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) there. he just said it again.. you must have amazingly efficiently chair lifts? is this a stage event? Edited May 22, 2011 by Jarek Wysocki
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) there. he just said it again.. you must have amazingly efficiently chair lifts? is this a stage event? I think it's more of a mini-series. Although, it does have Broadway appeal (edit - VERY vague, I know. But I doubt that 20km of ST nirvana could fit onto the Artscape theatre stage. More of a Band of Brothers style epic mini-series...) TWENTY. FRIKKIN. KILOMETRES. I'm having a very VERY naughty dream tonight. Edited May 22, 2011 by cptmayhem
Capricorn Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 LOOOL Mayhem.. roff dude.. WTMI! sweet vid. those guys were hauling ass.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Lol... I do have the propensity to go on the roff side every now and again. My darker side coming out. Â But seriously... 20km? That's crazy talk right there. You sure you're not running 12" tires and your speedo is registering 36" tires?
agentgreen Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 haha chairlift...thats funny...nope in Peru you take a taxi up...takes about an hour to get to the pass from where you start the trail...don't have a ton of pic's with me, but here are some,
agentgreen Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 These terrace ruins were discovered in 2008, while building the trail...the trail runs through them (but were not used for the race)
agentgreen Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 One of the fast parts...on the right, look for the trail running at a nice little angle on an old inca road...we call it the autobahn
agentgreen Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 there. he just said it again.. you must have amazingly efficiently chair lifts? is this a stage event?  Nope, they ran it similarly to a megavalanche, after qualification there were two race runs, with points for each and the best points score took it, this year's winner was the Chilean national champ, seriously, I don't know why there are not more South American riders on the World cup tour, these cats are FAST!
Capricorn Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 errrm..how far to the nearest medic? and do they serve water or oxygen at the waterpoints?
agentgreen Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Coca tea actually!!!at last years race there were no injuries, just a couple of cases of hypothermia!
Capricorn Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 mild case of hypothermia.. cacao tea, and 20km DH. I'm starting to like this bit of insanity!
agentgreen Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 It's like the Wild West and Never Never Land all rolled into one!
