Maybe that is what was so neat about it  --  I attended 6 ROC's (either
volunteering, crewing, or riding) -- and it was a great event every time.

They've chosen some here in the NW region that are good, challenging rides.
 But  it just doesn't seem like a challenge to qualify for the series when
frequently (in the NW and MT regions), there are only 10 people per weight
division even competing.  If it's not a "challenge" to qualify for, I don't
like to use it as a goal.
