[RC] re: regional awards - Teresa Van HoveI think Joe's and Bob's and Truman's comments on this were good; also these "regional awards" are paid for by AERC out of the national budget. I think the reason we even need regional AERC awards instead of expanded national ones is to balance the field a bit for regions where it takes a lot more travel to get to the same # of rides. Most regions have their own organization and have awards, presented at their regional conventions, where I believe they do only count rides within the region, and often have state awards for the person who rode the most miles in say Wyoming, Colorado, .... (though I don't KNOW what criteria PNER, SERA, ... use in coming up with their awards) So I cant see any reason for the AERC regional awards to change from the current system.
