Trained the YB team 92 miles exactly this morning. I have a GPS and I navigate to a waypoint I have marked at my house. A direct line from where I released the birds to the loft was exactly 91.8 miles. They were released at 8:30 am . I have the clock set up now that the birds are wearing their chips. They all came home together and all clocked at 10:32 . 1324 Yards per minute. 45 mph. You can calculate ypm by multiplying the miles times 1760 and then dividing by the number of minutes the birds flew. 1760 is how many yards are in a mile. 2 hours and 2 minutes would be 122 minutes.
Birds look and feel great and are ready for the first race which is exactly 86 miles for me.
