Reply to "Wheel calibrations"

Going back to a post from 2012 re: using a track to calibrate bike [with Jones counter] - for measurement of XC course.

Curious if this is a reasonable method or is established road process recommended.

Any new/other best practices?

The course we've been asked to measure starts and finishes on the track.

We held our league meet yesterday. One of the coaches measures the course each year. He calibrates his bike by riding alongside a nearby track on the grass between the 100m start and the finish line. Not quite the required 300m, but for XC courses, I think good enough, and based on experience I think the calibration surface is more important than the actual distance.
