<snipped> we like to provide a
relaxed laid back atmosphere for friends to join in the sport of endurance
riding. We operate the XP rides in a very casual manner and try to
treat everyone as we would like to be treated. While other ride managers have a
hard and fast rule about starters, we do not.

Dbeverly4@xxxxxxx I've heard the old tale about "Club Miles" on the XP rides
and I think if anybody had any brains they wouldn't roll that one out.
It brings into question the results from last summer, no?
yep - I heard the miles for the 2000 XP
were on the honor system.. you signed a sheet listing how many miles you
rode that day... gossip ? ....yeah, I heard it third or fourth hand;
but the Duke is apparently proud of how 'casual' their
rides are, and IMO that lends credence.
I think I'd prefer rides that affect the
AERC Regional and National Standings and Lifetime Records and Achievements to be
run a little less casually.
