Answers:

1) Absolutely we will be around......for a LONG time yet.  With or without
FEI sanctioning.

2) We have been asked to FEI sanction, but I haven't done so other than a
couple of times, mainly because of the extra costs and extra effort.  There
is plenty to do to keep the ride on track with it being just AERC
sanctioned.  If someone offered to do ALL the necessary paperwork as was
done a few years ago, I would have no objections.  I just don't have the
time and energy to do anything more than I do now.  I do all of our
paperwork, contacts, purchasing, organizing, and with Lud, trail clearing
and a bit of the marking.  I do have a lot of help from family and close
friends on the flagging and light stick placement.  We run a long ride with
a short staff.  It's always been that way.
