Sometimes it's plain old logistics. In the rides I have run I have
liked to start out the LD's on a different first loop to minimize
potential on trail conflicts. Sometimes you need to start the 100's
very early. All these things are difficult to do in an elevator ride.
Twice when I sanctioned as an elevator, no-one elevated. It gets back
to the point of organizing the ride to suite a very small minority of
the riders that may or may not chose to elevate. I think elevator
rides are one of those things that sound like a good idea on paper but
as with everything the devil is in the details.

What happened to more elevator
rides?? I'm sure there are a lot of people who would do the 50s if
they could finish the 25 and then elevator up and do another 25 that
day. That sure would be a great way to get more people who are
"thinking" about doing a 50 to actually try it. And it would help more
50s elevator up and do the 75s and 100s.
