DIY + Calendar = DIY
Been reading lots of things (previous posts, handbook, etc) but it
still isn't clear in my head what I have to do to combine a DIY and a calendar event. According to all of the mapping software I can find (set to shortest route, etc) I live just over 50km from the start of the South Bucks Winter Warmer 200 (SBWW). This would have to be confirmed... As it's on a Sunday morning the trains are up the spout I'm considering cycling to the start and back home after the event. Since it's 50km each way I could make this into a DIY 300 with the SBWW 200 in the middle. I know some people take this in their stride but I haven't even entered a 200 yet (about to post entry forms for the Golden Tints 14-Oct and the Upper Thames on 4-Nov, to start my quest for an RRTY[1]) As I understand it I enter both the event (after making sure that the organiser is happy with all of this) and a DIY (letting Sheila know that I'm using the SBWW's controls). The controls at the start/end of the journey are easy, there are several cashpoints and 24 hour garages near by my house. But do I need an extra control somewhere between SW18 and the start of the SBWW for proof of this section? Or is it ok that the distance between home and start of SBWW is at least 50km. What happens if I pack during the 50km ride home having successfully completed the SBWW? Could I throw away the DIY and just claim the SBWW 200 or do I lose both because I have not completed my planned ride in full? Hmm, or do I have to pick which brevet (DIY or event) is stamped at the checkpoints since I can't be riding two events at the same time? Bah, all confused again. -Alex [1] Oct = Golden Tints, Nov = Upper Thames, Dec = SBWW Jan = Poor Student, Feb = Kennett Valley Run, Mar = Winter Randonee and/or Chiltern-Cotswold Brevet Apr = The Dean (300), May = A taste of the Test or 26th Stonehenge Rest to be planned when new calendar comes out... |

DIY + Calendar = DIY
Last weekend I rode a 530km perm to the start of Gerrys Birthday Bash
85km and used this to make the ride into a 600km event. I kept the brevet card from the BP event fully stamped &/or signed,and will send both cards to Sheila to get validation for a 600km Starting at 0600 Saturday Morning meant having to complete the 530km in under 28hrs, the weather was fairly benign and I reached Wiggington with plenty of time to spare.

AIUI you enter the calendar event in order to use the existing controls (obviously paying the organiser for their trouble) but all the controls you obtain are part of the bigger DIY ride and you can only claim for one ride. Presumably if you fail the DIY you can claim the calendar instead. Mar = Winter Randonee and/or Chiltern-Cotswold Brevet I'll be at the WR; also the Anfractuous, the rest of time I are be mostly in Sussex for my RRTY |
