Boettger/Bennett are trying to best last week's record and will likely
not land back in Minden.


Interesting, I noticed they went to the north end of the range first.
If they use Minden as their start point that means they'll have to go
somewhere off the south end of the range for free 3 turnpoint
distance. *Unless they don't start until they turned back south but
then that distance from minden to ~susanville is sort of wasted. *I
hear the grand canyon is nice this time of year though...


They probably go for OLC distance which is 5TP. The 2200km was OLC
distance, not free 3TP distance.
