As a permanents organiser, EPE would be rather nice — I run nine perms and riders from the area have asked to "ECE the perm" to 300km. Every time I've had to offer them the routesheet and GPX and suggest they create their own DIY, which means their ride doesn't count in my org stats and I have no visibility of their pace or get any post-ride feedback; I also lose their entry fee, some of which goes towards hosting the website, domain name renewals, etc. If I could offer an EPE — even if I have to administer my own EPEs and check them — that would encourage more riders in the wider region to attempt one or more of my perms.
I understand Martin that you don't want to administer it — is there any way EPEs could be administered by individual perm orgs? Or would it need one central person responsible?
