Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.1984 - heidi

I don't quite understand how this disparity in numbers can be
considered to be "quite high" participation, or how it "serves the
membership well..."

You totally left out the 50 milers which the majority of the membership
rides  and which also counted for the championship under the old
"trailer race"  system.

No, Susan, I didn't "leave it out"--I simply pointed out that the 100-mile
championship has placings going begging.

Under the old system, one could do mostly 50s, but there was still an
incentive to do a few 100s to boost one's points standings.  What the new
system has done is to segregate the distances, and contribute to the
decline of one.  I don't consider that to be "serving the sport well." 
Again, just my nickel's worth...

Heidi
