Call those bums that run the satellites and tell them to get their shit together. Don't they know how important this is?!?

Is your gadget set to auto-pause when stopped or no? My guess is that it's not (go to training/auto pause to set). That would mean your clock keeps running even if you're stopped, lowering your average mph, and obviously suppressing moving time, which is used to rank you here. You're probably 2 mins better or so.
Now you have to redo!

The one thing I can say is he is not on the brakes thru turns... He for sure prefers weighting the rear tire while cornering

Thanks. I am driving back to GA tomorrow 4 am and wasn't about to miss this TT. I felt a little fatigue at the end but nothing special.
One didn't fall in the creek coz he was smart enough to walk both way😀
it's interesting the contrast between the two trails. Very cool!

hmm that odd. The twistys on the way back are usually about 5min faster
I have only ridden with Tony a few times, but it is easy to figure out how He goes fast. He fing attacks the trail, jumps the rollers, pushes into the corners and berms and just keeps moving. He rides six mile like it is a downhill run the whole time.
Learn to do all that stuff and add an obvious level of fitness in there and you will have it 😀
Phil dudeman I can't believe after almost 2600 ft of elevation in 24 you still had some legs to throw down a very respectful time. Bravo :2guns:
Set a speed threshold on the garmin, instead of "when stopped". It thinks you are stopping when in reality you are just go thru the s's.

The issue is that Pearl's not using a Garmin but an iPhone encased in a pink jewel encrusted safety case with a pop-up vanity mirror. The faux rubies are messing with the GPS signal.

I know I am late to the party but I want in on this one. I don't have a garmin but I do have an acurate cateye and have done the whole park in a total of 1 hour 26 mins at an average speed of 10.6 and a max of 21.4. Let me know what the rules are cause I am going out again today in about 30 mins to see if I can come close to some of the posted times.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Wow! are you riding behind me the whole time?🙂 That pretty much sums it up! well said
Thanks for the props😀 whats your real name btw?
Kevin...
Can't keep up with the likes of you, but the Little I have seen makes it easy to figure out why you go fast, skill wise anyways.
A good example is at the one tm day where the reroute right near middle bush was built....on a soft trail you come flying from middle bush and bunny hop into the little downside that is there. Most people don't even see shit like that and you are bunny hoping into it. Props deserved.

Riding that way is a work out in itself... 6 mile is great for bunny hoping into transitions... There are just so many to choose from
