Here are mine:
Standard distance open road time trials.
Any CTT recognised class of machine.
Competitors must represent LFGSS CC.Bragging rights for unlimited fixed and MG efforts are all very well, but the proper record of performances by LFGSS riders should be a set of club records, not forum records.
Results known so far are at https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/individual-result-search?club_name=lfgss

Tester's Thoughts on Records.
If these conditions are what the forum wants, then that is how it should be.
It's a pity Tester has not really explained why he wants thing arranged in this way, because there is a potential problem - most of the users of this thread are already in other clubs, and it would clearly not be in the interest of LFGSS CC to have established riders joining as second claim members in order to scoop up records.
Incidentally, I wish every success to LFGSS CC - it's great to have new clubs coming along - especially when many of the old ones are beginning to look grey and wrinkly. I assume that the new club either already has its own records, or that it will develop some.
In the end, records are only of interest if people are interested in them - as they once were with the RRA records discussed above. I would have thought that for a single gear forum single gear records would be interesting.

Forum Time Trial Records
I don't think we have these, but why not?
It would just be necessary to give a little consideration as to what would constitute a record. Here are my thoughts:
Records should only be accepted for rides done on single gears (fixed or free).
They should be verifiable: certainly any open, but probably club events also. However we wouldn't really want to accept something like "....yeah, it was defintely a 42 minute 25, my mate timed it with his mum's alarm clock."
Records would be accepted for the standard CTT distances, plus the Hour on the track.
The claimant should have been posting on the forum.
There should only be the minimum number of rules to make the scheme interesting.
A couple of other points.
If people here think this is a worthwhile idea then it should have its own thread.
Age related records may be worth considering. We could adopt the UCI practice of 5 year age bands, say from 40 upwards.
What do you all think?
