PNER teams

["Janet Benke" <qhjanet@hotmail.com>]

Another point about PNER teams: The roster is sent to the team committee 
person at the beginning of the season.  However, there is one week, about 
the first week in June it seems, when the captain can submit revisions.  
Last year we made a change that riders who do not COMPLETE a ride prior to 
the June week may be dropped from the team.  Once on the team, though, and 
once you've completed, you may not leave the team.  In other words:  If you 
move out of the region, have completed a ride prior to the June week, the 
team loses your spot.  However, if you have not completed a ride prior to 
the June week, the team may bring in another member in your place.

Also, both seniors and juniors may join the same team.

Some teams, as indicated, are very very competitive.  Others, barely able to 
field three for a distance (like mine, the Bandannas) in more than one or 
two rides.  We have some very good riders, but not enough this year to make 
three in a distance.  That's the strategy part.  And, some teams are very 
organized with a crew at every vet check.  It's quite impressive to watch 
the rider come in and the crew jump into action.  It's like watching the pit 
crew at an auto race!

Our team doesn't have dues; but then, we don't organize like some.

Janet (I'd send team rules to anyone interested by separate cover.)
