The advantage is obvious--when something goes wrong, it's just a quick walk back home to get the back-up bike, eat, rest up, whatever. Also, you can take bigger risks of riding in foul weather because you can easily bail if it gets too bad. Every time you increase the circumference of that circle, you're increasing the likelihood of extended down time when that is your primary enemy to setting the record..
Oh, you meant distance records as in setting distance records compared to anyone anywhere. I figured you were referring to people setting their own records, like PRs. If I ride a few thousand miles in a year, thats good. She rode that in less than 2 weeks.
Time for me to look into something like shuffleboard.
