unlimited, ungeared and 100km (Closed for comments)

The rule book does not separate unlimited in to geared and ungeared. I assume that this is going to become a standard separation as it has been used at the last 2 UNICON for the Marathon. Is this right?
We also do not have a road race category for the 100km. I assume that this does need adding.
I am going to suggest tidying up the numbering a little bit in the road race section. Is it possible to use another sub section of numbers?
4.2.1 10km Distance
This is the fastest ride over a 10km race distance.
4.2.1.1 10km distance, on an standard unicycle.
4.2.1.2 10km distance, on a Unlimited, ungeared unicycle.
4.2.1.3 10km distance, on a Unlimited, geared unicycle.
4.2.2 42.195km (Marathon) Distance
This is a fastest ride over a 42.195km (marathon) race distance.
4.2.2.1 42.195km (Marathon) Distance, on an standard unicycle.
4.2.2.2 42.195km (Marathon) Distance, on a Unlimited, ungeared unicycle.
4.2.2.3 42.195km (Marathon) Distance, on a Unlimited, geared unicycle.
4.2.3 100km Distance
This is a fastest ride over a 100km race distance.
4.2.3.1 100km Distance, on an standard unicycle.
4.2.3.2 100km Distance, on a Unlimited, ungeared unicycle.
4.2.3.3 100km Distance, on a Unlimited, geared unicycle.

A question for road race records. How to we mitigate for races that have combined categories/genders to make them eligible for road race records? This is a hard call because we often do not have enough numbers to totally separate out these long races. It is potentially possible to have a faster unicycle acting as a derny leading a peloton group and increasing the overall speed. Am I over thinking this?
Comment
Roger, or anyone really: please start discussions in the appropriate committee. Today, I created two committees for that purpose:
1. one for any issues with the Guidelines (where the above would fit), and
2. one for anything not (to be) regulated in the Guidelines.
This "General issues" committee is where e.g. questions or remarks about our functioning as a group would fit, not for actual content matter.
Roger, once you have copied your comments above to where they belong, I will close this discussion.
