You don't have to use a GPS unless you want to be in the GPS  
division. I'm going to be in the HandDrawn division b/c it's lots  
easier (for me:) -

as to your questions:

it would work to make the track, but it would not work to do it in  
the car and say you did it on a horse:)

Also, those of you familiar with motionbased.com, it does speed,  
elevation, distance, time. So if you do our tracklog from a car,  
don't try to fool us with your 40mph sprints!!

Nope, the start isn't until 8pmGMT on the 25th! until then its  
practice (and I'd encourage y'all to practice if you've got a chance!!

> One more question...If Josie rides with me we can use the same data?
You can use the same track (either upload two tracks to motion based  
- one for each of you, or two kmz files. I'm going to try to set this  
up so that you all manage your own data - I want to ride not be stuck  
with doing data management for all you guys....

You can also annotate your track logs with images, video, AND audio -  
so those comments on 7's figure can be part of your race data!!

I've no assumptions about point2point or loops or lollipops or  
intervals etc. The only criteria is that you follow the rules (i.e.  
you'll need to have control points on longer rides - 25miles (40km)  
seems to be a reasonable max ride phase if you're doing a 50miler  
(80km). If you're doing 10 miles, you likely should have a stop/go  
(i.e. stop, get off, take your pulse and go on) with finish criteria  
at the end (and YES you will all have to record your finish time and  
recovery time and vet criteria just like this was a "real" ride - but  
you'll have to do it for yourselves unless you can afford to have a  
ride-vet available to you!!:)
