    Re: [RC] or 3rd class Old Dominion Citizens - Nancy Mitts


    Actually, I thought I read that OD ride award was based on Dr. Matthew Mackay Smith's new vision of what endurance should be, for everybody?
    "The Way We Win" concept?
    It seems LD has evolved in very different directions in the various parts of the country. Much more so than the longer distances, although there are regional "flavors" there also.
    Are ALL the permanent LD riders feeling so put upon, or only a very vocal bunch? (I say permanent, because the riders in areas who often ride both distances don't seem to be so upset.) Or is it just certain regions of the country that have a problem?
    If so many riders everywhere are feeling so abused by LD's slant toward beginners, what kind of program do they suggest needs to be instituted to let people get started? A second 25 mile ride for people who aren't "real" 25 milers? A 15 mile ride? Then what do we do when the 15 mile ride is full of people who have been doing it a long time, and are feeling inferior, and want to be able to race?
