Hippy, this years BBAR has been one of the fastest for years, certainly the amount of riders coming in with an average of over 27mph so 12th position average is also higher than it has been for a fair few years. As for chasing courses, look on the testers forum, and the top 12 (possibly 20) are detailed with their qualifying events, the lack of fast courses means the 50 and 100's are all done in one of 2 or 3 events. It is certainly not the case it was even 10 years ago where you would need to compete every weekend to mount a serious challenge. Incidentally Clubman - was it one of your clubmates that was primarily a roadman and won in the 60's with just one ride at each distance?
And I'd echo Clubman's belief that your rides this year suggest that you wouldn't be daft in targetting that.
