The statement that 'National
LD awards are meaningless' stems from the fact that not all regions treat LD in
the same manner. If you look at LD results in EN or in the year books, you will
see that some regions give placings and AERC LD BC at the vast majority, if not
all, of their LD rides. Some regions, such as West & Pacific South, do
not give LD placings or AERC LD BC at any of their rides, with maybe a few
exceptions. Therefore, while regional LD awards are appropriate in some regions,
they are non-existent in other regions. And this makes the National
LD awards meaningless. One is not competing against all other LD riders in
all other regions.
My question has always been
'why' is there such a difference between regions. Hopefully, the BOD will take a
long hard look at this issue at the up coming mid-year board meeting and resolve
it, one way or the other.
