I like the idea of always making an extra age/gender handicap page available for
each TT - but I'd want the handicapping method to be better justified than what we
currently have (
http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Racing/TimeTrials/Results/tt/2001/age-gender-hcap.txt
). I know of a British age-standards table (don't know what data it was based on)
for men (I think it was for 25 mile TT's), but I haven't found any standards table
for women. Has anyone else?
So far as a separate handicap event, I definitely lean towards personal handicaps.
We already award medals on the basis of performance for the CCA age/gender
categories (and could still award the special age/gender handicap trophies on the
basis of best time from the age/gender handicap pages constructed every week) , so
why not do something else with a handicap event? I always felt that the idea of a
handicap event was to try to place everyone on an equal playing field so that
everyone has a good shot at the top/bottom or any other spot. The idea is that this
provides more fun and more competition for all. This can push all - from fastest to
slowest - to PB's.
