[QUOTE="Bigbird, post: 705197, member: 19669"] Our District 36 rules call for a mileage marker every five miles, but of course a check can be anywhere in that five mile area. If its closer to a mile from the last mileage marker then it is going to be a lot easier to maintain the variance as required by the AMA. But if you get out to the five mile point, you are not going to get close. The AMA rules also call for a route sheet that indicates turns, direction of turns and mileage at turns, and/or mileage post at every turn. Our clubs do not do this. Again, my experiments have indicated that it is virtually impossible to get three bikes to agree on mileage within the .02 mile standard. Further, I am not sure how this standard affects the expectation of riders for checks to be right on the money. (1.) If no two bikes have the same mileage coming into a check, accuracy of check placement is not as critical. (2.) Riders SHOULD be looking at the 30 sec readout on their computers anyway when they approach a check. (3.) .1 variance in check placement still gets the check well in the minute of placement as required for all reasonable speed averages. I guess my concern is that the .02 mile standard brings with it more opportunity for challenge than it mitigates problems in accurate check placement. [/QUOTE]
