RE: [RC] [RC] Tevis Ceremony & Tribute - Erin ClutterI do agree, for even though i was just a junior(unfortunately pulled at last chance!!!*always next yr*), i did agree w/ yall wen u brought up the fact that tevis was sold cheap this year. it was very unfair. i did give a funny look to my dad(who finished the race) when the presented the buckle to sponsor. i do believe that the buckle WAS infact different from the ones given to the riders, yet i do beleive it was unfair. All they did was sponsor the ride, and they get a buckle? heck, if they get a buckle for that then me, doing 50 miles and waiting 4 hours to get out of last chance deserves a buckle. but of course i also heard other stories. I heard some people saying that they might of done this for apart of the 9/11 war issure(which i didn't think so really). but maybe the commitee took it a lot lighter in giving them a buckle then the riders who spent MONTHS of training. So i guess it definately can go different ways. But we should really thank them all for the great things they g ot us. i don't think they tried to make us upset in anyway. Plus, it wasn't them who took/bought the buckle. tevis commitee GAVE the buckle to them. But i know im not exactly old enough(only 15) to understand the whole idea of it. But can someone explain to me (b/c i dont know really...) why it was against tevis rules to send the winner of tevis to UAE? i wasn;t sure. is it against tevis rules to give out awards like that? sorry i don't know the tevis rules EXACTLY...if someone could tell me that would be great( a personal e-mail is fine:)!!!)
