John, 9:45a border again in Roseville heading south. Wicked amount of knee pain. I am getting a cold and it is about to rain. I will check in later. Bye!

apparent discrepancy

I am curious about the posting that shows that Matt Lee has traveled some 55 miles less than Kurt Refsnider, yet is just over 18 miles closer to Lincoln, Mt which is both rider's next checkpoint.

Making some

Making some guesses/assumptions about how those values are calculated....

Distance traveled is based on the distance between spot points. If Matt's spot was not working for a period of time, or if he had turned it off - fewer points, particulary in a twisty section, would have him travelling fewer miles than actual. With spot values coming in at best 10 min intervals, reported mileage is going to be considerably less than actual for everyone.

Imagine a zigzag pattern. This distance between the beginning and end of it is much less than the distance along the path of the zigzag.
