    You know, that's a fine idea.  I'm sure the LD riders
    in my area would have my head.  I'm seeing more and
    more riders staying in the LD ranks (that's fine with
    me...just an observation) so we wouldn't be pushing
    any new comers out.  
    
    Since several have brought up the price of showing
    (not a very good comparision since it's a totally
    different sport from endurance), entry fee is the same
    whether you're showing Open or Novice.  Why not charge
    LD and 50's the same?  
    
    I think it'd be better received if all the RM would do
    this...something I'll bring up.

    Not this cowgirl!  I still think $3/mile is too high
    (especially in comparison with other endurance ride
    entry fees) but I don't think the RM in question is
    making a profit either.  Power to him/her!  I wish the
    ride all my best.
