Same Old Stuff.... the concerns being raised with regard to the most recent
event have come up on several occasions in the past, the most notable
being the three day roc in montana. after that disaster, which included
the cut off time problems and rule changes on the spot problems discussed
here recently with regard to this years ride, the aerc did not sanction the
roc the following year and offered an alternative event, the aerc classic,
which was a financial disater for the organization.

There is no reason to be upset with Ms. Gibson. She puts on a Race not an
endurance ride, and sets the rules to get the fastest times and most
efficient use of vet staff and support people. Sanctioning this as an
aerc ride is the problem. It is good for the Ride management as it likely
increases the number of entries, but always leaves a number of riders
feeling like they got snookered out of their entry fees by a smooth
operator.
