To clarify two points:  It is correct that I did not receive a ride change 
request from Potato; it is unfortunate and I truly regret this.  We assume it 
was lost in the US mail somewhere.  But the date approved over the phone was 
July 14th, not July 7th.  This is documented on the ride sanction application 
on file in the AERC office and in my files at home.  The other point is that 
there is another ride on July 7th, although it is a 100 mile ride, and I 
would not anticipate a conflict with a 50.
Potato's will be a beautiful ride, as it always has been, being held on the 
historic Western States Trail. Go.....and enjoy!
