Scoring & The Absolute Time

Absolute time is the time to meet, not beat.  Absolute time is determined to be the time it takes to complete the route at the legal speed limit and meet the following criteria:

• Total distance of the route from Snoqualmie Pass to Enumclaw via Chinook and Cayuse passes.

• Four fuel stops of seven minutes each.

• A single one-hour lunch/meal stop.

• Three rest stops of ten minutes each.

You have the clues.  The actual Absolute Time will not be made public until 3 pm at the October 8th Awards event at Café Veloce.

• 1 point is subtracted for each minute a rider arrives late at the final checkpoint, up to the first 30 minutes.
• 5 points are subtracted for each minute a rider arrives late at the final checkpoint, beyond the first 30 minutes arrival.
• 1 point is subtracted for each minute a rider arrives early at any checkpoint, up to the first 5 minutes.
• 5 points are subtracted for each minute a rider arrives early at any checkpoint, beyond the first five minutes of arrival.
• 50 bonus points are added to your score for each of the three optional photos provided (see below).
• 50 bonus points for answering the bonus question included in the route pack correctly.
