Re: [RC] Husband/Wife Award - Heidi Smith

I have been trying to get this ridiculous
mileage restriction changed for years.  This mileage arrangement was done
in
an emotional over-reaction to a husband who did a single 50 mi. race right
at the end of the season (many years ago) & that 50 coupled with his
wife's
high mileage won them the Husband & Wife award.

Darolyn, in all fairness, I don't think the BoD's action at the time was an
"emotional overreaction" but more accurately a way to ensure that husbands
and wives who truly both rode would not have their recognition usurped by a
stunt such as the one that was pulled that year.  And it was never the
intent to DQ couples where one had less mileage than the percentage, but
rather to ensure that those who DID both ride would have the advantage over
those where one partner does most of the riding.  Please see my earlier post
on the subject.

Heidi
