And that is all part of education for riders and Ride Managers.

As ride campers rehash at length the incident at the Posse Ride
and AERC defends its decisions, let us not forget that this dia-
logue, though sometimes uncomfortable, is not without merit. 
Managers and Riders: Will you ever participate in another 
endurance ride without evaluating carefully the inherent safety
of the finish line?  I know that, as a rider, I will certainly be
more aware of the location, the likely traffic and hazards
surrounding the end of the ride. As a matter of fact, I just 
attended the first ride of my season in Washington and the 
finish line was quite a distance from camp, had only a timer or 
two in attendance.  (I guess endurance riding was never a spec-
tator sport, anyway.)  The point is--it is good the ride 
community is taking this time to discuss a vitally important
part of our sport.  With this discussion comes needed change.
Talk on.  Kay
