Reply to "Purpose of the SCPF"

Bob, it could have been a few inches long, and still be "within a few inches of 12k".

Lymon, you verified, not validated.

We add the SCPF so we have room for the swerves, wobbles, and pursuing dogs. We don't add 138' to a marathon course. We add 138' to our desired 42.195 km (Bob Baumel, don't you love us using metric and feet/inches in the same sentence???) measured distance, knowing that we can't ride a perfect course. If we taped it after the bike measurement, it would always be less than 42.195 meters longer than 42.195 km. To say a marathon course is 42.195 meters long is not accurate. It is (most likely) longer than 42.195 km, but always less than 42.237 km (length with SCPF).
