Last year the Mt Buffalo Challenge was started on this website, it has proved to be quite popular in it's inaugural year.I'm still getting the odd time coming in but it's clear the sting is out of the tail.We've had 33 competitors both male and female coming from many different levels. At the moment the leader is Shane Miller with a very impressive time of 51 minutes 39 seconds. I've been wondering what to do about the competition,I will be awarding a very special trophy to the winner, I'm hoping this will be a perpetual trophy for other years too.
I'm after some suggestions before deciding on future of this and other years Challenge.I'll throw out a few ideas and hopefully will get some feedback and suggestions from others.
1. How do we wind up the competition for this year? Late Iast year I had been thinking we may be able to have a handicap ride off using the times submitted by entrants. But I believe this probably is not that feasible and that it would be difficult to arrange and how many people are likely to turn up for the race? Also many people are in their off season and not training much.
Which makes me think the person with the quickest time come March 31st deserves the trophy.I'm thinking about framing one of my TDU photographs for the fastest female.
2.I'd like to run the Challenge again this year (starting after the snow season) and I think Mt Buffalo is the best option.
So if anybody has any suggestions about the current or future Mt Buffalo Challenge please leave a comment at the bottom of this blog.
