[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1457968, member: 434"] I'm starting to look at those push-pins on the map, the checkpoint in Tulsa that penalty points start accruing in about 32 1/2 hours, and my first bit of math estimating distance and time for one of the outliers near Augusta, Maine. 1727 miles in 32.5 hours equals 53 mph. As a three time finisher of the IBR including a Top 10 in the last one....that's a solid indicator number that was in the middle of of my alley. [I]Note: I haven't seen what direction those souls down in Florida are headed, but know that I never went to Florida in an IBR given the propensity of Key West to be either a sucker bonus and/or in the 'ride hard...not smarter' column.[/I] We're entering that period where we see push pins start to head for the barn and we'll start to guess whether they're a rookie that's in over their head, a veteran or solid force that may have bit off more than they can chew, or an icon that's Jim Owen or Mike Brookes and know EXACTLY what they're doing. Throw in a rest bonus window (I'm not sure if there is one on this leg) where a push pins stalls out for 6-8 hours or an unscheduled drama like a tire, weather, traffic, or wildlife....and we're bound to hear some stories in John's write-ups. [B][U]Checkpoint #1[/U][/B] Wednesday night, June 21, 2023, 8pm - 10 pm CDT Doubletree Warren Place 6110 S Yale Ave Tulsa, Oklahoma Penalty points accrue at 8:00:01pm Scoring opens at 5pm [ATTACH type="full"]4756[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
