What is the ruling on non-continuous epics? For example:



1) 5hr total dirt time, driving from park to park.

2) 50 miles on road, come back home eat 5 sandwiches, 50 miles on road.

3) 2500ft climbing, come back home eat 50 scallion pancakes, 2500ft climbing.



I'm mostly interested in #1 since any kind of continuous multi-park dirt epic is going to be impossible around here for a long time, it looks like.

Isn't everything based on a day and one per day?

Few questions:

East Side Greenway count as different park from West Side Greenway (NYC)?

Can manhattan roads count as different roads than regular roads?

c'mon the probability of death or serious injury is extremely high

 

[stb222]

if soundz just continues to comes in in the top 3, is it mathematically possible to beat him at this point?

The downside to this year's point scheme is that it is now basically impossible for anyone out of the current top 3 to win. It isn't like you can do a few mega weeks to catch up...

Yeah it's easy enough to do the math. Most of us even if we win every remaining week can't get close to the top 3

Just keep riding.

I still would like to know how the final exam is going to play out. Pat?

that is tru - would take a multi-week collapse to catch him, or a major uptick by the rest of the field -

get out there, and win 1 week, to get in the winners tourny.

Me too.

i was suspecting more of a rotation in the top 10.

Jimmy & Ken have really taken it on as an adventure in riding - so at least i'm enjoying the show. i should be out on the trails by noon. hope it is still raining.

I found this chart of the stages of sunrise/sunset interesting......for 3/12/15 21:30 DST in branchburg
(note the solar noon offset because of DST) - civil/nautical/astronomical twilight marked.
