Thanks Lisa, Ill send you a more detailed letter but as this is of general interest I'll give the gist of it here.
Pre85 and Pre90 each in three capacities means 6 classes added.
Deletion of Pre60, Pre65 250 and 263+, and making Pre70 All Powers means in Classic 4 Classes deleted.
No Evolution age groups means another 15 classes deleted
Total 6 added
19 deleted
If it is a numbers game as in affecting the entry:-
Substituite any Evo age group above 30, for Pre75 16-29 and youll get a substantial net increase in entries.
Substitute Pre 65 AP for either Ladies or 16-29 Pre75 and there'd be a net increase.
If it is a time/entry issue why try to run Classic and Post Classic in the one event (some classes as protected or created by the split have been sacrificed by this)
This is not a complaint against the current BMCC Committee, or a shot at our youngest riders, and most of us will support the event.
The split was brought in to avoid exactly this situation.We are fortunate in this state that we have the numbers and the good clubs to make this situation unnecessary.
