RE: [RC] Limited Distance - Steph Teeter

We do LD's at our multiday rides (3 days)- but logistics is a big problem. We do 50 mile loops out of basecamp, so it's a challenge trying to include a 25 or 30 mile loop - it means you have to have a vet check (and staff) no farther than 15 miles from camp, somebody needs to stay in camp (or get back to camp) to start/finish the LD's - The only other option is to have them ride half the loop and then find their own transportation back to basecamp (which is what DVE does). But it's worth it, I really like seeing  more locals come and ride, and new riders, new horses, old riders, old horses. We do full awards, placing, BC, etc - the same for everybody except I try to give better awards to the longer distances. We also have overall multiday awards ' Owyhee Tough Sucker' if you ride all 8 days of Endurance (any horse), and 'Owyhee Not Quite As Tough Sucker' if you ride all 6 days (any horse) of LD. And then there's the Totally Tough Sucker... that rare person that did them all. (Tom Noll was our 2005 Totally Tough Sucker - and actually did them all on Frank!)

I would even like to see multiple day LDs.  What a turn-out! Now before I get beat up for even suggesting such a thing, I'm thinking this would be an enhancement for AERC. 
 
 
If I am not mistaken there are at least some multi-day LD's like Shore to Shore.
