Re: [RC] Electronic Communication on Trail? - Joe LongOn Tue, 24 Aug 2004 22:01:35 GMT, "rides2far@xxxxxxxx" <rides2far@xxxxxxxx> wrote: She would offer them water and collect intelligence, noting how their horse looks, what they told her about their horse, etc. Then when her husband came through, she would tell him how far the other riders were ahead of him and how their horses were doing. Robbie always did that ... it's something a good crew does. There's nothing wrong with it, and certainly no rule against it. Mental note: ALWAYS lie about how I feel and how horse is doing to members of competition's crew. :-) That's OK. Part of the mind game. ... I've done that a time or three. I've come into a vet check and acted really tired until a competitor ahead of me left. Hey, I've been riding along at an easy trot and seen a competitor's crew ahead, and broken into a nice canter until I got by and out of sight! It all depends on what I want them to think. My two cents on riders using GPS, or radios to talk to their crew: I think both are perfectly fine, and no AERC rule prohibits either one. A ride manager can make rules against it if they wish, but I see no good reason to do so. It should be up to the rider, IMO. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
