Yearly Distance Record Attempt (Tommy Godwin - 75,065mi/120,000k)

I have no issue in any single member of the HAMR organisation using a tracking device for me – but not the general public.

Is probably the big sticking point. The UMCA have indicated that live tracking being public is almost a requirement. From the earlier correspondence the UMCA said (my emphasis):-

You definitely need to get the Spot tracker for the following reasons.

1. Spot will allow open access. Any neutral observer can go to the Spot website and track your rides, as opposed to the Find My Friends app which requires a friend request to be approved. Spot will serve the fan base of ultracycling better as well as serve you better; once your attempt begins, you do not need to spend any time approving friend requests for the live tracker, nor should the ultracycling fan base need to wait for approval. Even as simple as the process may be, we do not want to deter observers in the least.
