Did anyone else stay near a screen last night watching the last of the riders heading towards the checkpoint before the DNF time? This is practically reality tv
I've been following Ken's ride closely and was anxiously waiting the standings after the first leg. #15 for a rookie (albeit one with lots of rally and LD experience) seems like a remarkable accomplishment! There are some top dogs above and below his rank. Sure will be interesting to see how things shake out over the next couple of legs.
I'd already viewed the spreadsheet showing the points / mile but adding that extra column showing the hours of seat time at 60 mph is quite fascinating. Thanks for doing that. The following is copied from another forum, and is a bit of analysis at the end of the first leg showing the correlation between distance travelled and points:
1st in points is 6th in miles
Top 5 in points have miles rankings from 3 to 15
Top 20 in points have miles rankings from 1 to 71
1st in miles is 18th in points
Jeff, thanks for the info about the additional couple of riders. I didn't realize Raven was in the rally and Wolf is an unknown to me. Have you talked him into attending OnSTOC yet?!?
