Re: [RC] FEI and 100 mile competitions - Barbara McCrary
Yes, I agree. Just look at what people
camp with now. No longer are we using tents and small trailers. Some
of these LQ trailers border on the size and comfort of hotel rooms. Very
nice, but not the way endurance was done 10-20-30 years ago. I think it
all fits into a nice neat little package.....we seem to want comfort more than
we want challenge.
or even 10 years ago. Things seemed to be alot different
just 10 short years ago than they are
today.

We just put on a well-recognized 100
mile ride, albeit on the same day as Steph's ride, so I know that took
some prospective riders to Idaho instead of here. However, we also
offer a 75-mile ride along with the 100. As my daughter says, "Give
people a choice of two mileages and they will choose the easier one."
We suspect that the general population of endurance riders are not as
willing to ride the distances or the deal with the difficulties as we might
have done 25-30 years ago.
