Re: [RC] Angie's 100 Mile comments & New Junior 100 Mile Award - bechack

Here here!

Any young person that can't drive themselves to a ride IS A JUNIOR!   

And no, mine either aren't riding or aren't juniors anymore.  

I say in the formal proposal that if they fall in to the age as
CURRENTLY DEFINED BY AERC for a Junior rider, then yes, they are a
junior.  Unsponsored or not.

In fact, I have a question?  Why is it that an unsponsored Junior has
to move up to FW (or whatever wt class).  Why can't they stay in the
Junior Class!

Question about logistics and definitions here - yep the Devil is in
the 
details. By the time that many jr.. get to a 100 they are already 
approved to ride as a senior. So if a jr. is riding with a senior 
without a sponsor - are they eligible or not for this award?

My vote would be this should be an award and anyone under the
official 
AERC senior age should be eligible - independent of if they are
riding 
as a jr. or senior.

We already have at least one junior rider who is planning on

getting 

this award!  I hope that we can get the word out (ideas

appreciated) 

so that we can maybe encourage more participation in the one day

100 

mile rides.  When the juniors ride, they need to take a sponsor

along 

with them :-).

In case anybody would like to see what has happened with the 100

mile 

distance and junior riders:

to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
