RE: [RC] [RC] Race (was: FACTS) - Ranelle Rubin

Well said Kat..!

I love what the Duck said at the ride I attended earlier in the year. He said something to the effect, "This is not a race, and there is no glory in coming in first. If you want glory in coming in first, go win the Tevis"

Probably, but if this is the case, then the Race of Champions is another
ride that the AERC will have to deny sanctioning to were it ever to be
revived.

The AERC has always had and continues to have a bit of a love hate
relationship with the word "race."

And not just the word, but also the concept.

It may be time for the organization to do as the Duck suggests and
separate the rides from the races since he is clearly quite right that
the rules necessary for safely administering each are quite different.
And right now, the rules the AERC has are inadequate for safely
administering a race and overly strict for administering a ride.
