There was a ride in Middleburg, VA a couple years ago that was purely 
for research. It wasn't AERC sanctioned because of some of the 
restrictions - you had to use what electrolyte they specified. If I 
remember correctly it was performed by VA Tech. I didn't see any results 
out of it. Does anyone out there know of the outcome?
