Hancock was talking about regional Lockdowns this evenings from what I saw.
So "events" in England could be about to get much more problematic too.
For the non-points based awards there's a bit of a nightmare in them.
With the exception of RRTY, It's not been stated if the clock is still ticking on them or not.
So say I'm aiming to get Brevet25k... which I am
This is season 3 of 6 for me (As things currently calculate)
I need a 1300, 1 more SR and 8000km in BR(M)
If the clock is still ticking then it's fineish... might lost a year or more of qualifying time for it who knows, but then so did everyone else trying to do it at the time...
If the clock has stopped on it:
Right now I live in Scotland, if I don't move it's easy enough to say that since events restarted in Scotland on day X then my clock restarted on that day.
Oh wait but I moved to Wales during the 6 year period, now do you have to work off people's address history? Or base it on who organized the DIYs?
What if I lived within comfortable distance of Cornhill on Tweed, right now I could theoretically ride there, start a DIY (if they were active in the North East of England) do the 200 claim it and then ride home... erm... How do you handle that?
What if the North East of England, Foyle, Monmouthshire or Fife gets locked down 3 times in the next year while everywhere else stays open?
It seems to me to be an administrative nightmare you don't want.
But even if rides do get validated in areas that it's acceptable to ride in, people are going to start moaning that they don't count for awards etc.
Suppose that's really just a case of "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't …” … please all the people all of the time”"
It's just some of hand tying is created by officially representing more than one "nation" (I did note that the crown dependencies are part of the consideration too)
