HEY NOW....wait one cotton pickin' minute! :) right now the LD riders go out 
from 15 to 30 minutes after the 50 milers, 15 minutes beign FAR TOO CLOSE for 
safety IOHO. Not fair - we LDers don't wnat to go otu an horu and a half 
earlier! Yikes! we would have to roll out of the sack at 3AM, at least those 
of us who actaully EAT breakfast and require at least 4 Gump stops before 
taking off! sniff!

I think I actually have a solution to the mixing of 25's and 50's.  What if 
the LDs started 90 minutes sooner than the 50's?  What a concept!  My guess 
is it would eliminate the gaggle at the vet checks cause the 25's would be 
through the first vet check by the time the 50's came in from their first 
loop.

The 25's wouldn't be done but most of them should be on their second and 
final loop.  With the longer daylight hours now I think something like this 
should be considered at the larger rides.  Don't you think it might be a good 
idea?

cya,
Howard
