Renaming Coast-to-Coast Rides

[BMW RT Pilot]

So saying or writing 50CC is easy enough, but when you start doing more and more laps, adding additional "C"s starts to become confusing. So I propose that something like the following be used:

50CC -> OK
100CCC -> 100C3
150CCCC -> 150C4
...
and so on.

Polls are fine, but it is up to Mike to make the decision. There are so few riders who do more than a 50cc that it probably isn't worth changing the nomenclature, IMHO.

I think the current naming convention is intuitive. For non-LD/IBA memebers/riders - you will always have to explain regardless.

I have 2 things to say:
1) Anything beyond a 100CCC is pretty rare. Taking the time to say the C-C-C-C thing is not onerous. eg "I went for a ride and travelled from east coast to the west coast then back to the east and finally finished on the west coast. All in 150 hours. The ride is called a 150CCCC. 150 hours coast to coast to coast to coast".
2) 150C4? Now THAT sounds confusing. eg

Yeah, what fool would do a 250 CCCCCC? Oh, Steve Dietrick ...
