Another one of my half baked ideas, feel free to suggest alterations or tell me why it wouldn’t work.
Wiggle 6 next weekend hasn’t got a single speed class, never mind a veteran single speed class. Some other endurance races don’t either
So, how about, unofficially, someone, probably me, keeps a record of all the single speed finishers at an agreed list of UK marathons and publishes some sort of league table on the web.
With no official category listed in the entries or results, I’m going to rely on people telling me they were riding single speed, so it’s going to have to be done on trust.
I’ll be riding Wiggle 6, BBF 12 and BBF Oktoberfest 8 single speed.
We could add most of the established 6+ hour races to the list; SITS, MM, Erlestoke 12 etc.
I was thinking something like 20 points for 1st place, down to 1 point for 20th place, with the best 5 results over the year counting.
No prizes or official recognition, just a bit of fun and motivation for those who want it.
