Reply to "ARE CALIBRATION COURSES UNNECESSARILY LONG?"

jimgerweckMember

I just got back from a trip to Iowa and Michigan and envied measurers there for the grid pattern of roads that results in long, straight stretches. You could no doubt lay out cal. courses that are 3 miles long if you wanted.

Here in New England, it's tougher to find a straight 300m, and once you get away from the shoreline, that is flat as well. I would say a third of the cal courses I've laid out have some sort of elevation change. My "home course" in fact has a rise in the middle, so the end points are probably about the same elevation, but I gain and lose about 3m on each ride. I feel it mirrors the terrain I usually measure on, and let it go at that.
