    RE: [RC] Free enterprise - Bob Morris


    There is one problem with this analogy. You state <<<They
    end up right next to each other because they appeal to
    different people and
    offer a different menu.>>>
    
    But the multiday ride and the three day ride and the single
    day ride all offer the same menu. Now, if you restrict the
    multiday ride to exactly that, ride all five days or
    nothing, and the same with the three day ride, all or
    nothing, then you have a comparison. But the five day multi
    offers five single day rides as well as a five day ride. Or
    it offers any number of days from one to five.
    
    There in lies the problem. In reality it is the Pioneer
    Award that is driving this discussion, not the rides
    themselves. There is nothing in our rules or procedures that
    prevent a single day ride to be held in proximity (time or
    location) to a multi. Most multi's are held Monday through
    Friday. Most three day rides are held over a long weekend.
    
    So fart in the discussion I have not seen any one lay out in
    outline form exactly what the problem is or what might be
    the best solution. There has been zilch analysis to date and
    any vote during the BoD meeting will be strictly emotional.

        What about McDonald's that also owns Boston Market
    franchises.  They end
    up right next to each other because they appeal to different
    people and
    offer a different menu.  Is it not the same with the
    different types of
    rides?  Do multidays appeal to a different person than
    single days and
    therefore both can exist next to each other?  My only
    questions are, are
    there enough customers to go around and are multidays just a
    series of
    single days which makes it easier for the rider to do their
    one or two days?
    Would different offerings create more customers who would be
    more
    comfortable at each venue or kill both financially.
