Depends on the
ride. If the LD is on a different trail then you have to hire extra vets
and have more volunteers. The other costs are the same. You need
more food, more porta potties, more materials, etc. It actually costs
just about the same per rider no matter what the distance......There is
supposed to be an article coming out in the EN by a long time RM that may open
some eyes as to the tremendous costs of some of the rides. There are
rides that pay upwards of $2500.00 for the camp and the forest does not care if
they are doing 10, 25 or 50 miles. Also one of our western rides must pay
for an overtime ranger because they go through a couple of miles of a local
park.....I am sure there are other rides that have similar expenses.....mb
