[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1471343, member: 434"] As a person that's done many IBA rides before, including some more extreme ones, I think choosing an arbitrary distance for tank range is folly. I find it way more accurate to gauge the rate that you're using fuel, monitor the segments of the display as they drop off, and make a dynamic estimated range based on those variables. The one time I missed was was an unexpected long uphill grade the last 10 miles and mucked up my plans. (and maybe because Ken Meese was on my ass) If I had done it off an arbitrary amount, I'd have been without fuel many more times. #332. [/QUOTE]
