I'll be measuring a 50-kilometer outback course on a Rails-to-Trails path this weekend. Since the out and back segments are identical, is it acceptable for the first measurement to be the out segment and the second measurement to be the back measurement? If so it would save a second 50-km ride. That would certainly be acceptable if the course was a 25-km point-to-point so I believe it should be ok for the 50 km.

John, it certainly should be, as long as you ride SPR. That will probably result in the course running a little long for the runners, since the leaders may not be able to follow the SPR on the return due to oncoming slower runners still heading out. The alternative, though, is to create coning restrictions, virtually unenforceable over a race that long. Plus you'd have to do 2 rides.
