We have LD multi-days, BC's, good awards - it's not a big deal here (at =
least in SW Idaho) whatever distance a person rides. Lots of folks =
interchange distances, and our regional awards combine points for LD and =
EN - so you earn points towards year-end awards no matter what distance =
you ride. A lot of us are charging the same entry fee for both =
distances - the only difference is the number of miles you ride. It can =
be a challenge fitting the shorter rides in with the multidays - =
especially the one-big-loop rides - but we figure it out. Sometimes the =
LD's start at noon, sometimes they actually drive out (or camp) at the =
out-vet check so they can ride the 'good =
stuff'. <div><br></div><div>I absolutely agree that LD's are =
critical to AERC!</div><div><br></div><div>Steph<br><div><br><div>Begin =

reason the LDs were not started till 9 and we had a 45 minute hold so =
this once again killed my "Done by One" motto. I feel I have paid my =
dues with AERC as far as competing in the longer rides and am =
really loving the LDs now BUT not so much the ones in the Northeast. We =
pay almost as much to ride as the 50s but are treated more like 2nd =
class riders. I offered top ten and BCs on all 3 days of the =
Hickory Creek ride to the LDs hoping that might get the incentive going =
(it has not). AERC offers a BC award in the region but seldom does =
anyone in the NE receive it as no managers will give it. To me =
the LDs are the least amount of trouble. So as Earl Pitts =
would say wake up people! I will be competing more in the SE =
and MW next year where the LDs are offered multi-days to ride as =
well as placings. Mary Coleman 9078 </font></div><div =
