and what about IBA people? Do your miles match up between ODO and the IBA route?
where's the emoticon for "can of worms?"
If it is a certified ride IBA goes by computed distance - typically Basecamp or Streets and Trips I believe. Yes, the rider provides odo readings but official distances are computer map distances. For the Iron Butt Rally and numerous other LD rallies there is an odometer check where each rider rides a prescribed course to compare to the known distance. This provides a correction factor. But placing in the standings depends on bonus points, not miles anyway.
