Tiny K Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I will ride without looking at my watch; I will give it my all, both carburetors fully open!!! I race better without looking at the watch, if I miss the sub 3 tough luck!! But if you do a 3:01 you'll be mightily p!ssed with yourself for not pushing it a lil bit harder towards the finish..... just a thought.
Harry Potter Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 But if you do a 3:01 you'll be mightily p!ssed with yourself for not pushing it a lil bit harder towards the finish..... just a thought.Yes true, but if the bunch rides that time it will mean that I will have to make a break and I might be all alone. I do look at my watch but more in the last 10km of the race. If I can get over Suikerbossie with some time to spare, I will put pedal to the metal
MaxUmis Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 But if you do a 3:01 you'll be mightily p!ssed with yourself for not pushing it a lil bit harder towards the finish..... just a thought. I did a 3:01 from KL at the Dischem Ride for Sight. I kicked myself for not pushing even harder than I did over the final km or so.BUT I realized that there is something to LA's famous words; "every second counts"The seconds at the start and the middle and the end all count the same. Same as golf... A 300m drive counts the same as a 2' putt. All you really can do is to make sure you give it your best. Just a side ponder:The races over last 3 weeks, up here in GP, had the main bunch stay together almost to the end of each race and saw only a handful of riders doing the pace making.Say there are 180 riders in a start group. If each one of those riders took a turn at the front for only 1 minute...
Jackhorner Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 There's no password on it. Should work. Click on the link provided by Berry on 14/02/2011. Checked it just now, and it works. weird, I re-downloaded and tried again, and again it asks for password when i try to change target

petatodd Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Old thread, same question. Anyone got a split calculator for the Argus?
dracs Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 or... anyone got a Garmin file for a nicely paced 3.15 / 3.20 or so?
Sean32 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Can any one tell me the distance from the bottom of Suikerbossie to the top and what gradiant it is.

dev null Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I will ride without looking at my watch; I will give it my all, both carburetors fully open!!! I race better without looking at the watch, if I miss the sub 3 tough luck!! Yikes, I will do well to come in sub 4. Then again I am also starting in PA, so by the time I hit Chappies (actually Smitswinkel more likely) you guys will all be snoozing somewhere. I better keep my attention on the road instead of the watch. Don't wanna drive over to many 'speed bumps'. It won't be good for me or my bike. Edited March 2, 2012 by Moridin
