Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Motion #4

Bob,

Typically rides already in existence are grandfathered so they would not
be subject to special sanctioning.

For the most part - I would expect it to affect new rides with less than
2 years experience.

I will say though that if the intent was to better coordinate multidays
so that they don't interfere with each other - the historic rides really
should be considered too for dates/distances.  Unfortunately considering
just the multidays against each other doesn't consider that other rides
like 50/100s can be impacted too.

Having a ride too close in time/distance to another a multiday or
regular
ride can have a serious financial impact for the RM.

Some might consider this as a "barrier to entry" for new rides.

As it stands - I'm not in favor of the motion.  

Mike
