Re: RC: Osceola 100: FEI pending/Jan l3 200l/ FL

[Linda Cowles <kadence@ix.netcom.com>]

I haven't been riding enough this year, but I had a serious case of
sticker shock at the $200 entry for a no-frills 100 mile entry!!!

Is it *just* me? Am I that out of touch? Is this inflation creeping up on
me, or have no-frills 100's been priced this high for a while? Is the
price because it's an FEI ride? If so, I'll actively campaign against FEI
participation.

I can just hear a friend of mine with the initials MB laughing "And where
have YOU been?" in my face. I've been working!!!
