Reply to "One Ride Extension"

I sympathize, Oscar. I encountered a similar thing attempting to replace a small segment of a marathon course recently. It turned out OK, but it was a challenge to locate & verify old timing points where the "fixed" objects were no longer present. Fortunately, I had a turn around for which there was plenty of room to adjust. Otherwise, it would have been a real pain to get accurate. I concluded that it may have been nearly as easy to measure the entire thing all over again. I am becoming averse to the "erector set" methodology for marathons. I might even recommend some kind of rule about this - if more than - say, 25% of a marathon course - or perhaps as little as 6 miles - is to be changed, the course must be measured all over again.
