I'm a newbie to endurance so I don't know where most of the rides are.
Could people in the future add the name of the state where the ride is
in whenever a ride is announced so all newbies like me can learn where
each ride is?  This would be so helpful.  Also is there a link on
endurance.net where there's a list of all known rides (long, short,
single day, multiday) in the US including unofficial ones with state
names next to it?
Many thanks
Kathy
Ps where is this patriot day ride? :)

We are only two weeks away from a beautiful, all amenities ride!  Just
a few
notes to those wondering....We had considerable trail changes last year
which has turned this ride into an easy to moderate trail.  The 100m is
going to be the same.  I good first time 100m.  The footing is great,
the
volunteers plentiful, and snacks and drinks for riders and horses at
every
check!

Also a good 100m ride for those of you without crew! Two of the vet
checks
(lunch/dinner) are at basecamp.  Three away checks at 18, 65 and 85
miles.
All easy access and two are in the same spot.  Call me for details
(530)375-7551.

Basecamp is located at a full service summer kids camp.  As a result,
good
place to bring your family to play with fishing poles and bicycles!
Plus we
have full bathrooms with hot showers.

Come support our ride!  The monies earned support our military veterans
and
local community projects!

Thanks, Kassandra DiMaggio

 I truly respect everyone's concern over the costs involved in
 participating in our wonderful sport. But I think we may be looking in
 the wrong place and blaming the wrong problems for the increased pinch
 we feel in our pocketbooks on the way to basecamp. Gasoline is
probably
 the single most monitored item in terms of price of any good or
service
 we as Americans purchase.   ...

 You know, it's interesting how people will complain about three
dollar a
 gallon gasoline while drinking their five dollar a gallon bottled
water.

 Compared to the price of everything else we pay for, gasoline is not
at
 an historic high -- it was higher in the 1980's.  Back during that
price
 rise (when we were hearing the same complaints) one service station
made
 the point by offering to sell gas for ten cents a gallon -- if you
paid
 for it in SILVER dimes!

 Ah, but those "billions of dollars" in profits the oil companies make?
 Actually, that's not much compared to the size of the company, the
cost
 of their infrastructure, and the quantity they sell.  Service station
 and oil company profits are actually only pennies per gallon, far less
 than the government takes in taxes.

 I agree, it sucks to not be able to afford the fuel to go to all the
 rides we'd like, or to those as far away as we'd like.  I feel that
 pinch too.  But put the blame where it belongs, on politicians
(domestic
 and foreign) and not the oil companies.
