LOL,
sorry,.......... have to laugh, or cry. at all the discussion that has been
going on for weeks about LD. As I see it, IMHO....... we are all members
of AERC, we ride in AERC Rides, that by definition would seem to make one an
'endurance rider' -- reguardless of actual miles ridden that day; 25 thru
100 .
All the bickering about points, awards
?? why, am I mistaken, thought that was already voted on, and
passed.
RM has to offer BC for LD.
Personally, don't like idea, but they didn't ask me. And since very rarely
ride LD, doesn't affect me unless I manage ride again.
As for counting mileage, don't see why
"the office" doesn't just count it all together, would probably simplfy record
keeping and the LD miles are on the same trails, with most same parameters as
longer rides,..so.
And, someone a
couple days ago, posted question ? as to why we ride? for points,
awards?? or other reasons? That is what really made me LOL.......on
more than one occassion .. usually on a particulairly 'nasty' section of
trail, either too hot, too cold, or wet...... have thought or actually
said to person riding with ........ "We're doing this for the Fame and Glory and
MONEY ? Right." As for awards........ I have yet to see one
that came close to compensating for time, money, sweat put into the ride, or
preparing for. Thinking about all the 50 to 80 dollar tee shirts I
have.
