Reply to "Long travel times."

Calibrating cool & early then recalibrating in the hottest part of the day is ideal. Riding a few km is NOT going to warm up your tires if ambient temps are falling: PV = NRT & rims and spokes contract with lower temps. If you have reached the time of day when temps are dropping, that many km time delay may be fatal as in ooops! I have to drive back 50 miles and lengthen the course. Before leaving a course in that situation, explain to the Race Director that he or she may need to "move that nail some" for you later. Another strategy is to make several calibration courses in your area so you can conveniently recalibrate before finishing marking the course as evening temps start falling.
