Default Hybridfest '07 MPG Challenge

Hi All

Here are the results and pictures of the events awards. Even though Debbie Katz came in third in our FEH class, she has the highest data base average of everyone. Our own Pravus Prime (Rich) came in second. You now have a picture of our mugs.

Is that an optical illusion from the camera angle or did you finish in descending order of height?

Congrats to all three of you, those are some impressive numbers!

is it true that a camera adds 50 pounds?

Ya, I think that's why GPSman didn't want to show up and end up coming in forth in that photo.

For reasons beyond my control, Debbie Katz SG11 was set up to read 7.5% lower than her navi MPG average. Her SG2 read 45.1 and her navi read 48.5 for the final reading on the MPG Challenge. My navi reading maxed out at 60mppg, and that same SG2 read 57.5. I've owned the first SG and now have the SG2 and I've never had them read .5% off on a 27 mile trip. I calculated Debbie's readings and my navi MPG reading should have been over 60MPG max at 61.8mpg if it could go that high. This would have not effected me winning, but these folks need to know how Debbie's FEH really performed on my Challenge.
