Could PBP riders avoid having their tracking information published by PBP/ACP if they didn't provide the appropriate consent? (I'm guessing PBP/ACP either didn't bother asking clearly, or provided an opt-out - neither of which really comply with GDPR).
With what end in view - using PBP as cover for a dirty weekend?
Reminds me of a "conversation" (or perhaps a monlogue) I overheard part of while scoffing food outside the Carefour City;
woman with a distinctly southern english accent bellowing out "You know many of the men don't want their wife here"
According to this data it looks like ~80% of Audax UK finished within their time limit (those who list their club as Audax UK had a completion rate of 79% and those who list their country as UK had a completion rate of 80%). This compares to an overall completion rate of 66% (I've included DNS in the calculations). The AUK rate is similar to previous years I think?
Stats aren't as easy to gain on country of base;
Jasmijn Muller is listed as Dutch but has club as Kingston wheelers; an easy one to figure out but putting all UK based clubs in may pick up riders who hardly if ever ride in the UK.
Another rider is listed as American and has their club as a global one; a bit trickier to figure out unless you know that all of their rides for the year have started on GB and north of the 'umber.
Stats from that pbpresutls site to satisfy my curiosity
Riders with their country as
UK: 449 finished, 7 OTL/HD, 87 DNF, 19 DNS out of 562; 82% of starters finished in time
US: 295 finished, 17 OTL/HD, 124 DNF, 25 DNS out of 461; 67% of starters finished in time
DE: 540 finished, 22 OTL/HD, 110 DNF, 28 DNS out of 700; 80% of starters finished in time
JP: 215 finished, 21 OTL/HD, 135 DNF, 14 DNS out of 385; 58% of starters finished in time
CA: 75 finished, 7 OTL/HD, 22 DNF, 3 DNS out of 107; 72% of starters finished in time
IE: 48 finished, 0 OTL/HD, 13 DNF, 5 DNS out of 66; 78% of starters finished in time
At club level it doesn't seem to let you build up a list of them in the same way you can of countries;
Ythan CC, West Lothian Clarion and Scottish Borders have 100% records , but they were all or nothing
Audax Ecosse, Edinburgh RC and Highland CTC all lost 1 rider
I got a list of riders from the Audax Ecosse facebook page that I'll try and piece together finish rates from, though know it missed a couple.
