Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

It probably makes more sense in the MW where the rides are smaller to 
start than say the SE were our rides are getting larger and even 
ridecamp space for endurance is become a problem.

In regions with small rides running CTR's with endurance rides makes a 
lot of sense to help ride managers.  I don't think the AERC needs to 
recognize them in any formal way - they just need to not do anything 
dumb that would prohibit them from being run along with the endurance 
rides.

The best thing I see the AERC doing is to not make any rules that could 
be interpreted as not permitting and changes any current rules that 
might impact such co use of the trails, vets, ridecamp, etc. so such 
events can be run and otherwise leave the CTR organizations to run their 
own business.
