I think that is an awesome idea. Tabor is a tough race and there should be a place for beginners to compete. I know some of the guys who finish in the top 10 of 4/5 have been racing it for years.

Too bad I can't downgrade back to 5 where I should be.

Best regards,

Monty

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] Tabor 4/5

I have worked at finding a solution to scoring as many riders as possible. I
think it is wonderful that we try to score the whole field, and I personally
would like to continue to do so.
Yesterday I threw out a couple of suggestions. i.e.
1. Pull lapped riders and score everyone
2. Only score the riders that finish in the lead group or until the first
lapped rider shows up.

BTW I only got 3 responses to these suggestions.

Today I asked the race organizers if we could do a 3rd option.

Rework the schedule to look like this
5:50 Fixed Gear
6:00 Cat 5 only
6:15 all women's field
6:45: Masters
7:10 Cat 4 only
7:30 Cat 3
8:10 Sr Men

I looked at all the riders registered in the 4/5 field this week. There were
47 Cat 4 and 43 Cat 5's. Trying to figure out a way to separate them seems
to be a possible alternative.

Time for your responses.
Candi
