You did not go back far enough.  I have over 3000
AERC miles from 1974 to 1997 and another 3000+ CTR
miles.  I stopped competing in 1997 (not time and
not the health).  I have done some multi-days (not
a lot on the East coast) and several 100's.
Almost all on the East Coast and I betcha 30% in
some kind of mud.....

The completion rate is misleading....I pulled ME
from several rides in '96 and '97...before that,
you'll find a closer to 90% completion rate...  I
guess this is where stats like M, L or RO are
valuable..hey?
