Answering Kathy's question about a ride manager refusing entry to a ride:
A few years ago there were a couple of young women who entered our ride and got 
into a very abusive argument with some hikers.  (This was reported by other 
riders who were extremely upset and appologetic to the hikers).  I had spent a 
lot of time at the ride meeting telling riders how important it was to be 
friendly and well mannered - it was very upsetting to hear that they had "blown 
it".  I called the parks and appologized for our riders - then wrote a letter 
to each of these competitors requesting that they never return to our ride.  I 
heard via the grape vine that they were insulted, but never returned - and as 
far as I know, never continued on with endurance.  Which isn't necessarily a 
bad thing considering their poor behavior.
If I understand the rules correctly, ride managers are given the option if not 
accepting an entry.
