Re: shortest points between controls on AUK rides


Hi

Too many info controls will turn a pleasant ride into a pig's
breakfast.

I was forced to add 3 extra info's to a 200km ride I organised a couple
of year's ago, just because it was possible to save a couple of k's by
riding along a suicidal stretch of A road (as if anyone would). It
completely ruined the feel of the ride, so I put it down to experience
and only used the route that once.

I think you'll find that Secret controls are allowed again after being
banned a few years ago. This was a decision at last year's AGM (or did
I dream it).

You are unlikely to get the route past the Events Secretary these days
if it's possible to shortcut, and rightly so. Having said that, he's
unlikely to bother too much with an event without AA points.
