Two wee sections.NewRetroTom wrote:Also there is the issue that Lee seemed to miss out a wee section of the route.
We will need to await Alan G's wisdom on this point.

Quite a fast DH section there IIRC - but that is quite a spurt.atk wrote:Liam seems to have opened up a gap at the front!

Re: 2016 Highland Trail (group start)
Remember the resolution on the SPOT is +/- 20mins when you take into account both riders.
Anything less than 30mins and I'd not be making any assumptions.

Re: 2016 Highland Trail (group start)
Depends how strong you are - it is rideable up from Kinlochleven....but after what he has done. Descent is most excellent though.jameso wrote:Is that a HAB section? I see Ian has fell-running history, expect that's a real bonus in the HTR.I imagine he'll put up a good show up and over the Devls Staircase.

I wonder how far out they will leave it before some one slowly attacks - Bridge of Orchy?NewRetroTom wrote:Liam and Philip must be pretty much riding together approaching the top of the Devil's Staircase. From the Spots it looks like Lee is about an hour behind with Ian a few minutes further back.

Re: An old company jumps on the bandwagon
No issues Lars, was happy to review and ride with them. Happy to take them on the Divide too - will post up post TD how they work out.
Weight, it's really not that much extra. Not for what you get with the total waterproofness of them.

Re: 2016 Highland Trail (group start)
Great race among the front group.. looks like Ianfitz has something in the tank at the end, has pulled toward the front well overnight. I'm thinking Ian is using all that BGR conditioning to pull this out of the bag. Really hope this works, he's been riding well in the lead up, this would be great ...

Re: 2016 Highland Trail (group start)
Ian is a fell runner - ex-climber - this section will suit him.
Also, remember he is only chirping per hour as we've had some tracking issues with his SPOT.
