Argus cycle tour time splits

[capeofstorms]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know where to find the time splits if one were aiming for a sub 4 or sub 3hr30?

 

Thanks

Hi, that's for training. I meant what are the split times at certain points in the race if one were to aim for a sub 4 ot sun 3:30 finish

I realised that only after I'd already posted a reply

Sure , You will be able to get it on the Tour site closer to the race , should not make a difference to your training though.

Aaah, great! Mailed the Cycle Tour for this a couple of weeks ago. Obviously no answer!

does this calculator include boyes drive?

[dee_biker]

Mmm, this does look like the 2008 route... :\

i like it how for the sub 3 splits you have to climb Chapmans peak at 31km/h. I also think that you'll be able to ride faster down Suikerbossie to the end. Looks like i'll have to if Boyes drive hasn't been taken into account.

Does that calculator take Boyes drive into account?

[capeofstorms]

HI,

 

Just phoned them and yes the split calculator DOES include Boyes drive

[niklasvm]

Well thats good news i guess. Should maybe take the splits now and start practicing on the route.

Buy the new issue of the Bicycling magazine. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Between pages 32 and 33 is a time split sheet dived into columns from a sub 3 to a sub 6.

It's actually a sticker which you can stick on your bike.

hi,

 

There seems a big difference betweem the time splits on the cycle tour website and that published in the latest edition of bicycling magazine.

 

Hard to figure which one is more accurate. It could make a difference as to whether you achieve your set time or not
