[RC] 2007 National Championship - Steph Teeter

We're going to be hosting the 2007 NC in SW Idaho next year, the end of
August. We have both mountains and desert here, sand and rock (and lizards
and bandits)and peaks at 6500 ft and lows at 2000 ft along the Snake River.
We have a 100 mile course mapped out (both mountain and desert trails) and a
55 mile mountain course. Very scenic and fairly challenging and technical.

My question to the group: what about adding a multiday championship? A 3-day
ride with all different types of terrain? The AERC BoD already approved a
3-day venue for the 2007 NC when it was scheduled to be held in New Mexico,
so the concept is not new, and there shouldn't be any resistance from the
AERC BoD. But what do you guys think? the riders? Is this something that
holds more interest than a 1-day 100? Would you be more willing to drive to
a multiday venue NC than a single day venue NC?

My own experience with managing rides is that the multiday venues are much
more fun! More time on the trail, more festive, more socializing, more time
spent getting to know each other with shared dinners every night. There are
two reasons I like to manage rides: to share trails that I love, and to have
fun - throw a big party.

So, what do you guys think?

Steph
