     I am the fellow ridecamper that wrote that comment.  Once again, it's 
not a race, so how is there a winner?
     Maybe you should start a new LD's of the World Racing Orginaztion?  It 
can be races between 10 to 30 miles.  This way there will be a winner in the 
LDWRO.
     But for now, AERC doesn't offer this.... & I'm glad.  LD rides are 
needed as a stepping stone into endurance.  That is why AERC started LD 
riding in the first place.
          Also, AERC Endurance Riding is described as a marked trail 
consisting of 50 miles or more, .......etc., etc.
