[RC] LD Rides - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Richard Sacks rsacks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Sorry not at my primary computer right now. Getting ready to go to sleep. Bruce: I certainly don't speak for everyone. I am am making the statements based on the dozen or so riders at the DG ride who were pretty pissed off as well as what I read in the posts on RideCamp. Also I have received several offline emails since my original post from LD riders who feel very differently. They have said to me in the emails that they are tired of being treated differently and they won't post anymore because they are tired of being blasted by people who list their credentials and just make them feel even more small. I know many great riders with extremely high mileage who have never touted their records to anyone and instead suggest that there may be a better way to do something. A much better way to get your point across. I know who you are and the amount of time you have spent in endurance. But time in any endevor doesn't necessarily make someone right. Someday someone will file a protest and then this issue will finally be decided. Also the example of 50 mile times not being recorded was a hypothetical situation to let you empathize with what some LD riders feel. It was supposed to make you think about how you would feel if you were in their position. Merryben: If she did win BC where is it posted. Certainly not on the ride results. I haven't seen it and I justed looked again. Remember AERC's primary responsiblity is record keeping, not deciding whether rules are broken or enforced. I understood that is the responsibility of a variety of committeies made up of individual members. But if you feel that the rules are read interperted correctly as you perceive them then why don't ride managers indicate pre ride whether they are going to post results or not. Finally to all including Diane: Why does this seem to only be a problem in the West (north & PS) regions and no where else? I felt really bad for the lady who came from Colorado to ride the LD at DG (that's all she rides) and didn't know what the political scene was out here. She told me during the ride that if she had know she wouldn't have come. Maybe the rain had something to do with it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
