[QUOTE="placelast, post: 266666, member: 22683"] [b]Re: Re: .[/b] [i] It is fun; doing the math makes it that much more! 2x, I'd say. As far as when to get on the gas, there cannot be two checkpoints within 3 miles of eachother (watch out for resets between, which effectively narrows the gap), so for those 3 miles you can ride as fast as you want, if need be, to get back to where you are supposed to be. And you can arrive up to 15 min. early before a know contol, eg: an end of a loop, [I]if[/I] identified as such on the route sheet; district clubs do this, but the TWMC doesn't often as it's all voluteer work & help is scarce & they like to keep you "thinking/on the lookout" for possible checks to the end. You can also ride the "possible" checks (because they cannot have a check on every minute for all speed averages). IOW, ride fast (hot) between where there wouldn't be checkpoints, then ride in the middle of your minute where they [U]might[/U] occur. Or you can get lazy & buy a computer which calculates all this stuff for you.:D But it's better to do it on the cheap 1st (roll chart, stop watches) to get the hang of it. Then once you've done a few & decide enduros are the thing, buy a computer w/the features you like. Mine allows data setup & entry via a laptop, & can be set to "toot" (yes, it has a horn) when a possible check is coming up. Once I'm in a check while the worker writing down my score, I hit a button & the tooter doesn't sound off for 3 miles. The restof the time it (& other brands do this too) tells me how early or late I am; if I need to slow down or speed up. My job is simply to keep it reading/displaying -30-, that is, right in the middle of my minute - which I can control by one thing: the throttle. Sounds simple, & for the most part is, but your mind & the course layout crew do little things to mess with your thinking, cause you to doubt & not trust your instruments or calculations. And that is what makes it even more fun, the cat-and-mouse thing.[/i] [/QUOTE]
