[RC] Comfort over challenge - Dyane Smith

A lot of us are older.  And, clearly, some (not moi) are richer.

Yes, I agree.  Just look at what people camp with now.  No longer are we using tents and small trailers.  Some of these LQ trailers border on the size and comfort of hotel rooms.  Very nice, but not the way endurance was done 10-20-30 years ago.  I think it all fits into a nice neat little package.....we seem to want comfort more than we want challenge.

or even 10 years ago.  Things seemed to be alot different just 10 short years ago than they are today.

We just put on a well-recognized 100 mile ride, albeit on the same day as Steph's ride, so I know that took some prospective riders to Idaho instead of here.  However, we also offer a 75-mile ride along with the 100.  As my daughter says, "Give people a choice of two mileages and they will choose the easier one."  We suspect that the general population of endurance riders are not as willing to ride the distances or the deal with the difficulties as we might have done 25-30 years ago.
