Drive Time Estimates

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

How do y'all plan drive times for new routes? I've tried using Google maps to manually edit a route, but if it's a twisty one, maps goes haywire and becomes more frustrating than it's worth.

I'm planning a small section of the SCAR loop from Kings Mountain to Dupont over a long weekend in early August, and want to make sure I'm giving the group enough time to hang in Dupont and be able to get back when we need to.

Anyone have ideas on the big picture of estimating drive time? I'll also take specific experience with that section of the SCAR and how long it will take. Thanks y'all.

Actual trail recon is the only way in which to estimate drive times (which can be done remotely with curated trails like you find on Trails Offroad). No map is going to give you ground level conditions. Also, a hard and fast rule is the larger the group, the slower the drive.
