Having read all the posts on LD and BC, this one is beginning to sound good, 
especially coupled with the one that suggests awarding BC based on high vet 
score.  That way, there is no extra judging.  The vets are giving a post-ride 
exam anyway, and they might as well be writing it down on a BC form.  Or 
perhaps AERC can develop a vet score sheet for LD rides that doesn't consider 
time and rider weight factors.  Any comments?
