Re: [RC] [RC] Just curious about LD's entry price - heidiAnother aspect of curiosity - so....the vets who work the rides command the same fee if they work 25 or 50 miles? Is it a daily rate so that if a ride has say 4 vets, they are all paid by the day even if they only vet the 25? Just wondering - a new rider asked me about the vets, the arrangements etc and I didn't know. It depends on the ride. Usually, since there is a 50-miler as well, the vets work for the entire day. The RM tries to schedule the start time so that the bulk of the LDs tend to hit the checks at different times than the bulk of the 50s. Depending on the ride layout, the vets may well have to remain until the riders of longer distances are all through their check anyway. Occasionally a ride is set up in such a way that perhaps one vet can leave mid-afternoon when all the LDs are done--but that might save the RM only $100 or so. Spread across even a small LD entry (say, 25) that's only $4 less per LD rider saved by having that vet go home. In general, both when I was vetting a lot of rides and when I was managing a lot of rides and paying other vets, the fee was either for the entire weekend or for being a day vet. Unless the vet lives close by, a reduced fee for only part of the day isn't very practicable.
