Hahahahaa.... are you joking?
Dave was working against the clock before it all dissolved into a slopy mess. We already disqualified Midlife and his squidgy mess, and someone else as we couln't even open the pages!
Although, the winners sheets were actually quite dry (until they were 'infected' by the others) - so it could be done.
Seriously, I think a slight change is on the cards, maybe an A5 laminated score card, were people can fill in the markers and answers is better. It would also make marking easier, faster and more accurate.
A wider area is also being considered, giving more markers. This needs carefull thought as the whole idea is to get people on the nice roads rather than the crappy/tourist ones. There was some good feedback from the Sunday ride, so maybe using the coast roads is a possibility. Also, there are some great roads into Alston and Keilder too.
Another suggestion was to hand out the road books the night before, so you get a full day's riding.
I don't think we'll discount GPS's, yes maps do give a better sense of place, but there were at least 2 people who learned a bit more about how to use their GPS to plot waypoints and build routes. This was another objective of the NavtXT, to give
YOU the experience to plan your own 'adventure' rides.
Any comments on the above would be great, and keep any suggestions coming. We might discount them, or we might develop them into something. The thing is to sort it out now, while it's fresh, then you will have forgotten it all by next year.
(and hopefully the bus timetable will change!)
