Re: [RC] novice class, LD taken seriously, stats for you - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Stacy Motschenbacher msmots13@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Ok, here are some statistics for those of you that think LD riders are novice riders riding unconditioned horses. I picked two rides, one in the east, the other in the west. Both rides had over 20 participants in them. This is what I found. The ride in the East had 23 riders start, of these 4 were first time riders. I averaged the amount of rides done by the other 19 riders and it totalled 46 rides! The ride in the west had 23 starters, of these 2 were first time riders. The remaining 21 riders averaged 30 rides. Most of these people are not novice riders. I do agreee with what Jody said about the awards, I think they should start with the 100 milers. It isn't fair that they have to pick thru the left overs. (Especially when they have to sit through the entire awards...end then try to get up again...) However, you have to admit that it is usually much easier to top 10 in a 100 mile ride than it is in a 50 or 25. (Where both are offered). I wouldn't care if the 100 milers received cooler awards, I just hate to see no placings and no BC given to LD. -Stacy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
