Oddly we don't already have a thread for this.

Usual format:
30min + 1 lap anti-clockwise (slow and fast groups)
followed by:
30min+1 lap clockwise (slow and fast groups)

Be there from 10:00, Racing starts at 11:00

I've finished the number allocation.  New riders should have an email from me informing them of their race number.

I've spent the winter hacking around with the timing system, which should result in a few improvements in how results are presented this season.  One major innovation is that I've made CrossMgr speak the same language as the BHPC web server, so we can now have live results during the race.

One side effect of this is that the unstarted test TT (which Natalya decided last year stands for 'tag test') functions as a useful list of who has entered and what their race numbers are, so I've uploaded that one early:


Let me know if I've typoed your name or your race classes are wrong or whatever...

(Anyone wondering about the presence of a 'Race' class, this is a start-wave class for administrative purposes - it isn't part of the BHPC championship.  The slow and fast groups will have unique start waves to enable the races to be merged in the timing software, rather than a hacky spreadsheet.)

Hi Kim,

I can't see myself on the lists. Paul Meredith, Race no 217. My helmet is missing a tag, and the remaining one is two years old so I probably need to pick up new tags. I should be there in good time on Sunday.

Thanks, Paul
Paul

Thanks for that.  For some reason your entry has confused my sign-on-email parsing script, so it never got added to the CSV.  I'll sort that out manually and try to debug it tomorrow.  At least it's not the shop misbehaving this time.

I'll also compare the shop's list with my own, in case this has happened to someone else.  (My fault for not doing this as a matter of course.)

Due to unprecedented demand for new timing tags, I've now run out of spare ones (and a couple of riders are going to have to have a single tag), so cherish the one that's on your helmet, in case the emergency order for more fails to turn up in time...

I'm not on the list either... was number 214.
I should be OK for tags.

Sorry Kim!

Okay, it seems you both managed to break my shonky parser for the horrendous HTML emails the shop produces by the devious method of putting a date in the comment field.

Now fixed, and I've added some code to generate a warning if it processes an order and fails to find any rider data, rather than just not adding anything to the list.

This doesn't appear to have affected anyone else.

Meanwhile, sheer weight of numbers mean the slow race is now mostly composed of handcyclists and new riders, so a fair number of regulars are going to get promoted to the fast race.

I picked the machine with the best mirrors in anticipation…
