If I have X hours of riding time to the time restricted location, (bonus, ferry, etc), it seems pretty self evident to start the ride X hours before the time I need to be there. Having it done for me doesn't strike me as a big time saver.
@Greg Rice - Thanks for the response. Experience taught me I could ride XXX miles in XX hours while doing bonuses. Like most riders, I set bench marks for when I should be where and used that to determine if I was up or down on time, and should cut a bonus or add a bonus. The bench marks at points in the route where it would be optimal to add or subtract to avoid losing higher point bonuses.
It's great that it works for you, but it's not adding value for me. Your accuracy is dependent on the variables of life. An unexpected traffic jam or detour and you're going to deal with that by adjusting your plan on the fly. To me, you're micro managing your plan a bit for a rally. In a 12 hour rally with less room for error, I can see the value. Less so in a 24 or multi-day event.
Record? Not even close. The people doing it faster simply won't document their speeding. This isn't the venue for records over distance.
