    Re: [RC] [RC] Finish Line question for LD Riders - Howard Bramhall


    Why not make it a "real ride."  Why just the first half?  Why not the whole
    thing, including a finish line?  Why are we afraid to give these folks a
    finish line?  Make it exactly like the 50, then, when they do make the
    transition from an LD to a 50 or a 100, there won't be any surprises.
    Everything will be the same.
    
    cya,
    Howard
