Then I went back to the old idea that the BOD was entertaining some years ago....the rider does 6 of several designated 100 milers throughout the country, then takes the scores of the top 3, and whoever has the highest score is the National Champion.  She thought that was a GREAT idea.  I can't speak for the success, or lack of, in the current system.  All I realize is that very few of the memnbership in the country can remember, from year to year, who the National Champion is!  Part of the problem is due to so many weight divisions.  It sounds fair to divide competition up by weight divisions, but it dilutes the impact of the term Champion.  Food for thought.

If you want excitement and attention, think of what the Triple Crown means in TB racing.  Each of the 3 races is prestigious, but combining the three means that the winning horse isn't a fluke.  I could really get behind the idea of a Triple Crown.  How about Tevis, OD and a final NC race that moves every year?  Lif
