So, who's going to be first to join two calendar events together?
I don't think it's possible with the current system, it'd have to be done using the old DIY system...
Is there a new DIY system ? DIY+Cal is defunct. We still have DIY perms.
The vast majority of DIY+Cal rides may be defunct thanks to ECE, but ECE specifically doesn't cater for multiple calendar events.
Nothing has changed with the old DIY Perm system so there's no reason why it couldn't be used to do this using the two calendar event Brevet cards as proof of those distances cycled, along with appropriate other receipts, as long as I get the agreement of all involved (both Calendar organisers and the DIY organiser).
To put it another way: I could have done it before, so why can't I do it now? For rare cases like this there's no need to modify the infrastructure of the ECE rides, just deal with these odd/rare cases using the original DIY method. The only thing you miss out on is AAA points, if they're more important to you then you need to think of a different way of doing it all.
If Calendar+DIY+Calendar really takes off and lots of people want to do it (I very much doubt) then think about extending the ECE system, but I really think it'll be unnecessary.
Wouldn't that be an ECE for Dean + ride to Stevenage. Then the Start of Summertime ? Why would you want to make it one event. Two event makes it 6 points and you get all the AAA poitns still.
Separate rides won't count as a 600km ride for an SR, that's why. There are no AAA points on either.
It's also more audacious to do it as one all-or-nothing 600km ride rather than being able to bank the 400km ride and then bail on the 200km ride because you're not enjoying it.
