I set a goal of 20:00 on Cragg Vale V9916 course TT. Join me and set your own goal: http://www.strava.com/goals/segment/80060 that's my goal, dunno if it's the same section or not
Yes, that is it.I set a goal of 20:00 on Cragg Vale V9916 course TT. Join me and set your own goal: http://www.strava.com/goals/segment/80060 that's my goal, dunno if it's the same section or not
You would probably be able to take 1.5-2.0 minutes off that then.The time I quoted was from the sign to the res.

Yes, you are right - that will teach me not to check with Street View! I just checked that it was not starting from the sign in Mytholmroyd, and assumed that they had the start right.Just to be an awkward pedant, the HC course actually starts (or at least it did when I cycled past last autumn, and the line is still on the road) a little earlier at the telegraph post next to the 'Townson Thornber' sign. Regarding a post further above, I think the HC course and the painted lines end at the same place, opposite the reservoir road.

I imagine that they do the same thing as maps, which is to measure the horizontal distance.Just a thought- do GPS systems measure horizontal map distances as distance travelled as opposed to bike computers which measure actual distance travelled by the turn of the wheels, because a 20 degree incline is considerably further than the GPS mapping distance...

Ah, 2 men did go past me on the way up. The slower one turned off to the left by the farm. The other one said hello as he went by and quickly pulled away from me! It would have been about 3:45 - 4:00 pm, or maybe a little earlier. I remember looking at the clock before I set off and it was 3:15, but I messed about pumping up tyres etc. so it could have been 3:30 by the time I set off and it took me about 25 minutes to get to where I was passed.Time did you go up on sunday colin, Mite have seen you
Yes, there are certainly lots of people riding up there these days. The Wiggins/Froome effect has definitely been important, and the Yorkshire start to this year's TdF is already kicking in!Thankx for all that infomation but I went up around 12:00 so no way near, passed about 4 or 5 people at various places along the way tho, just wondering.
