The flip side is, starting a ride is physical event, not a monetary
event. Registering for a ride is a monetary event that commits a ride
organizer and a rider to a specific series of activities. Those
activities could and should and in fact do have distinct boundaries that
define the event. Competition history has shown us one thing for
certain - the better managed (from a fiscal standpoint) events are,
USUALLY the better the event becomes.

I can't imagine anyone in the endurance event industry getting rich off
of it - it's just too darn small.
