As you see on the Time Instructions page, you will need to figure out what time you should be at points on the trail as identified on the ride map in order to maintain your pace throughout the ride.  One of our competitors devised this chart to make the calculations easier.

How to use the Timing Chart

First find the speed in MPH that you are supposed to travel across the top. Then find the distance in miles along the left hand column. Where the two lines cross, it will give you the number of minutes it will take you to go that distance.
Examples: To cover 5 miles of trail at 4 mph it will take you 75 minutes, or 1 hour and 15 minutes. (1:15)
