Not for me, but it's not my contest. Wheel sizes are usually something
other than the exact amounts listed on the tire. Also you are then
counting your actual rolled path, rather than a straight-line
distance.

Counting wheel revs sure is easier for informal measuring though. Great
to get you in the ballpark, but for a "real" number you should measure
the total distance.
