The Traverse 2009: All information thread(merged)

What is this?

 

Distances and times to the different cut offs. Am I out of line posting this?

 

No...not out of line...I just couldn't open it so I didn't know what it was...cool idea to give everyone...thanks. Can you email it to me at sherry.hart.bikes@sbcglobal and I will put a copy of it in the packets that are being picked up starting Saturday...thanks

 

Sure. I thought maybe I missunderstood something. Once you download the document you need to change remove the .zip at the end of the file name. To do this right click and select Rename. Meaning the file name should be TraverseCutOffSheet.xls not TraverseCutOffSheet.xls.zip You will then be able to open the file in Excel.

Please make sure to vet the file before providing it to others. I would hate to have someone miss a cut off or something.

 

ok..so I am not too good with the comuter..I can't get it to work...I will see if one of the guys at work can get it to work for me tomorrow...you lost me at .zip...and yes I will check it over to make sure it's accurate.

 

Well if it's wrong then it's my fault cause I gave him the cutoff times and distances from cutoff station to cutoff station. I can't seem to open to see it either.

 

I sent a file to your the email you can open directly in Excel. If you need me to send it to another address just let me know.

 

here's what the xls has:

Code:

From             To             Seg.             Total             Time                     Split            
Start            Silverado      15.75            15.75             09:15                    02:15            
Silverado        4 Corners      6                21.75             11:00(cutoff)            01:45            
4 Corners        Holy Jim       7.25             29                12:30(cutoff)            01:30

 

Is there a 2:15 cutoff at Silverado? The Warrior's site course description only mentions the other 2. :?:

On my training ride I made it to Silverado in 2:20 but beat the 4 Corners cutoff by 1/2 hour.

 

No, that's how long it should take you to get to the top of MW in order to have plenty of time to get to 4 Corners. Sort of like the VQ when I said if you make the peak by 11:00, you would have plenty of time to get to HJ lot by 12:30(cutoff)

I edited the sheet to show the cutoffs

 

What's Silverado? Is that Motorway?

 

Sweet! Now it's 71! Ok.. I'm bored.:?:

 

Last Saturday I only got to The top of Motorway at 2hrs 40, kinda slow but I dont think that I will be any faster on race day. It should only take an hour from Motorway to 4 corners tho, if memory serves me correctly? So I should be at 4 corners at +- 10:40.

Mark

 

Yes!

 

can someone tell me where the holy jim cutoff is?

 

It's at the top of Lower Holy Jim where it meets the Main Divide.

After you bag the peak, you'll hit it after a couple miles (~2?) when you start descending Main Divide.

 

Thanks. That is what I thought but there was reference in a previous thread to HJ p-lot and this got me thinking.

 

A little collaboration/mash-up here. I tend to get confused during races about times (especially if I have a goal in mind) and math starts to get a little difficult the further along I go, so I made this. Hope it helps anyone that suffers the same dementia I do on the course. Click the file for a larger version.




Thanks to MTBMaven and Geoladders for the data. Oh and to the Warrior's Society and everyone else that's going to make Saturday a great day.

EDIT: If there are any requests for modification or addition to this thing, let me know before I delete the original file. Happy to take requests.

 

In Zippo's case... some hit the Holy Jim cutoff a little harder than others.:lol::bang:

 

This is great. I might actually use instead.

Suggestions:
1) Add mileage for each leg under the times
2) Add the cut off location, maybe above the profile
