We are currently establishing the inaugural foundation for the circuit. The first five riders to record verified sub-24-hour finishes on each route will be permanently designated as The Pathfinders—setting the historical benchmark for all future sanctioned pursuits.
Finisher rank within a specific route is determined strictly by Total Elapsed Time.
The Clock: Timing begins at the first pedal stroke at the mission start point.
The Finish: Timing concludes at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign when the rider unclips and one foot makes contact with the ground.
Non-Stop: The clock does not stop for traffic, mechanicals, or rest periods.
Because each of the four routes varies in distance, elevation, and technical complexity, Total Elapsed Time is not a balanced metric for an overall ranking. Therefore, the Overall Leaderboard is ranked by Effective Average Speed.
To ensure parity, speed is calculated based on fixed “Standard Mission Distances”:
Phoenix: 345 miles
Los Angeles: 365 miles
San Diego: 400 miles
Reno: 448 miles
The Variable Penalty: Average speed is calculated against these fixed distances regardless of a rider’s actual recorded mileage. If a rider deviates from the course (wrong turn) and adds mileage and time, their average speed—and thus their rank—will suffer. Precise navigation is a tactical requirement for a top-tier ranking.
While Total Elapsed Average Speed determines the rank, we display Moving Speed as a secondary metric. This illustrates the rider’s raw pace excluding rest stops and external delays, serving as a benchmark for future missions.
