Re: [RC] Comment on my last post - Tina HicksIt does always seem strange the the best completion rates are on the hottest, toughest, muddiest, etc.... rides. I think it's cuz the vets threaten us to within an inch our lives at the ride meeting on those rides :) Tina On Sun, 4 May 2003, Rides 2 Far wrote: Funny though...often the things that we as riders think make a ride "easier" do not translate into higher completion rates...but lower. Million Pines for instance seems like an "easy" trail. Sandy firm pack roads. No rocks. Not that much deep sand even the 2nd time around, but the completion rate would make you think it was Tevis. In contrast, last week in the mud 31 out of 31 entries in the 25 miler at LBL finished. I think 31 out of 41 or something like that finished in the 50 which seemed awfully high to me considering the depth of the mud I saw (and the vets were good and plenty capable of seeing lameness). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
