The Pub / Re: Your house rules

Our main one is no phones at table. The main person who breaks this..... my mid 70s father in law. TBF he also does it at his own table and we think its probably because he is from a generation when a phone call was probably important so feels compelled to reply when messaged even if at the dinner table

We also have one which readers of swallows and amazon's will understand that if you say honest pirate then you have to tell the truth, and we are largely honest so it's more like daddy have you made a smell? And reply would be no was the dog that time, honest pirate

Quote from: vorsprung on Today at 10:49:35 am

OTOH if a rider gets to an intermediate too soon and ahead of time then they absolutely must wait until the control opens before controlling
Not sure what I would do as an org if someone broke this rule and turned up at the end with a otherwise valid card
Only remember it happening once on my events, I was at the intermediate control in question and they were about 1 minute early

It happens on some events where the first stage is easy and where there is a tailwind - especially if there is a strong group of riders, or if the organiser has set a max speed limit of 25kph - there were quite a few on the TOBG last year who arrived at the first official control before it had opened, but didn't leave until it had.

On the South Hams Imperial a long time ago, the first control was the cafe in Princetown, where i arrived with another rider 10 minutes after it had opened.  We only stopped to get our cards stamped and had the benefit of a 30mph tailwind over Dartmoor, so arrived in Moretonhampstead something like 20 minutes before it was officially open (another 25kph speed limit on a hilly Brevet Populaire).  As it was a commercial control we ordered cream teas and by the time these had arrived and been consumed, the control was official opened, so we paid and got our proof of passage.

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.

Pete, some of us more local types might wish to join the evening dinner, before riding home later. No room booking required.

I believe the phrase or saying "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime" may have appeared in this Unit's response :demon:
