I ride almost exclusively fixed
Funny, you've never mentioned this

:( don't joke about these things, I was about to order a 2023 diary!
Sorry it's been stressful, but always good to think and plan for worst, knowing it shouldn't happen, with that peace of mind for support.
And, yes, defo will pull any strings I can, and if there's fundraising, will be behind it too.

@Chopsicle Ha I was joking with the link in bio - my insta is pathetic. However you did arrange that absolutely awesome musette for Ben so I'll actually think around this idea in general as it's a nice idea to offer a rider something for their effort on the day.
You do make a good point about running it under an organisation. I'm a member of BC and having had a preliminary look earlier in the year I don't think it's a huge deal to organise a non-race event with some rider insurance etc, especially with a low number threshold. All other issues aside, mentally I would feel more at peace (especially this year as we climbed through Petts Wood) I knew that there was at least some kind of safety net for us. Might just do that regardless. I could probably cover the cost myself, as I ride almost exclusively fixed I have a huge pile of money saved up from not spending money on groupsets.
