I have a father and daughter who have done my Greenways audax each year. He uses e-brevet but she loves the info’s. She is now 18. I’d be careful about saying one age group wants this, and another wants that. I offer traditional and modern and let the rider choose.

What I do try and do is make it as frictionless and easy as possible, so they can enjoy the route and scenery. For instance I’ve had people use my control alert IQ app on their Garmin Edge as they worry about missing controls, but stick with infos and receipts for proof of passage.

The most accessible thing I probably do is my events being within range of a train station.

Hello

Was wondering about M Steel frames and if the frame numbers started with MJ.

Now then Lord of the Sith, you should realise that rebuilding the death star is a futile exercise as I, being a Jedi Master will ultimately cause all the joints to fail due to lack of braze
On a more mundane matter, none of the M Steel frames have a letter prefix other than the ones made for Dales Cycles in Glasgow under the Flying Scot banner. They used our number sequence with the prefix FS

Thank you for the reply. It is the frame from https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=48975.msg2820511#msg2820511 someone mentioned that the frame looked M steel frame.

Glad to see you around here, hope that you are well.

Unless you have a Garmin Edge, then my IQ datafield might just help.

https://apps.garmin.com/apps/503d9fec-4863-455a-b528-6a5f297e4a03

Tested on 4 calendar events and one perm (with alternate start) so far. Has 118 installs thus far. I haven’t widely advertised it yet, just mentioned it to riders of my own events.

Looks good, we younger riders (in my dreams) expect everything to have an app these days, anything that doesn’t is clearly for fuddy duddies only , e-brevet and similar are great assets to maintain membership and eliminating overly fussy (worse if enforced) intermediate control timing is a step forward. Advisory timings are useful guides to a target progress and I have used Robert Sexton’s CIQ Time in Hand field for a few years https://apps.garmin.com/apps/341a30bc-d557-4564-bf3f-cd5c8dae2f47
I can see that too many info controls especially if heavy with in-crowd meanings and required knowledge might also be off putting, e-brevet would eliminate the need and streamline admin for rider, organiser and upstream processor. Good to see we are all moving along, next for a bit of AI ?
