RE: [RC] [RC] Weight Divisions!! - Jim HollandHey...I betcha my "bod" looks better than YOURS nekkid! You don't even know how to spell nekkid! :) When's the last time YOU were on the ground running with your horse? Do you even know how to "tail"? How about we find a web site somewhere and we will show YOU in nothing but tights and ME in nothing but tights and let Ridecamp judge? :) Joan is ROFL!

Heck, why don't we just do the weigh in's nakid???? No room for doubt there. You can leave your hat on. Mike will probably show up with a ten gallon cowboy hat filled with water. Still trying to get the picture of Jim Holland in his skivvies out of my head. OUTTA MY HEAD, OUTTA MY HEAD. Reminds me of when my daughter told me my Mother-in-Law, during those awful hurricanes this summer, was floating around our house going Commando underneath her bathrobe. My daughter will never drop her spoon at the breakfast table again! My wife said her mother asked her, "Why doesn't Howard ever have breakfast with us?" Now you know how I learned exactly what commando meant. Before the hurricanes, I was unfamilair with the term. cya, Howard (Jim, ole buddy, don't you ever show up at a ride Commando, skivvies is bad enough) ----Original Message Follows---- From: Truman Prevatt <tprevatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Jim Holland <lanconn@xxxxxxx> CC: rides2far@xxxxxxxx, lkinsky@xxxxxxxxxx, ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] Weight Divisions!! Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 18:19:09 -0400 I would agree about weight without tack. Weight in what you rode in. No tack, no water bottles, no extra anything, etc. That would probably require a minor adjustment in the boundries but solve a bunch of issues. If you want to carry enough provisions to survive for three weeks that's you choice but it should not impact the weight division. Truman Jim Holland wrote:How much weight you lose depends...I've lost well over 10 pound at times. It depends on how much time you spend on the ground. (Running, tailing, etc) If you are "working" like the horse, you will lose weight. Iassumedthis was the reason for the 4%. I could probably make Middleweight and have a much better chance of getting an award (Too many "tiny hineys" in the Lightweight) if I were willing to carry enough "stuff" to move up. I weigh 155-160 in my skivvies. However, I feel my true weight division is Lightweight...so there I will stay...personal decision. What people are willing to do to ride in a specific division, as long as it is within the rules, is perfectly OK with me. If you don't like it, lobby the BOD to "adjust" it. My preference would be to drop all tack and water from the weight....just what's on your "body". You "choose" to carry "stuff". You don't have to, just like you don't have to carry a GPS, or a heart monitor. Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic-- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
