RE: [RC] LD BC - heidi

One  could well ponder the idea that perhaps more
people are more willing
to  ride LD rides (be they beginners, oldsters, or
whoever) in regions
that are  more LD-friendly...   


If you're considering PS to be "less LD-friendly" I
can tell you that there are a LOT of riders at all
rides, including LOTS and LOTS  of LD riders.  And my
first year (which was in the PS) when I did LD to
learn the sport, I NEVER felt like anyone was
unfriendly to LD riders.  


Nope, Nicole, my post was a specific response to a comment about low LD
entries in the W region.  I've vetted a couple of times in the PS
region for Lynne Glazer, and although she was not using the AERC LD BC,
she was being very creative with how to be user-friendly for LD riders. 
It was at her Norco Riverdance ride that I judged all 70 or 80 or
whatever LD entries for a Top 5 High Vet Score.  Although PS has been
slow about getting on the bandwagon with AERC BC, they have been
sufficiently LD-friendly in so many other ways that I agree--it has
kept their entries up.  I've wanted to go look at that region as well
for my stats, and I just haven't had time.  I know it is a different LD
environment in general than in the W region.
