Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Free enterprise

Slightly different business model. All the fast food joints locate next
to each other since in that business location is prime.

But I guess I would have to ask if multiday rides are the second fast
growing area in endurance riding, why the hell does the BOD want to
stifle that growth. The reason it is growing is there is a demand and we
should be welcoming new rides instead of trying to figure out how to
stifle the growth.  The AERC should get out of the business for trying
to manage the economics of endurance riding and leave that to the
consumer of endurance riding. That way the cream will rise to the top,
multidays will grow and flourish and ride managers will be accountable
to who they should be accountable- the riders not some "politburo" set
up by the AERC to determine which choices we have . Quite frankly as a
rider sitting back he in FL I would like to have a choice of which
multiday ride I want to go do in July. As an AERC member I demand that
choice.

PS: On the three day issue, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
