RE: [RC] Heidi at Sagehill - heidiHeidi writes : "One could well ponder the idea that perhaps more people are more willing to ride LD rides (be they beginners, oldsters, or whoever) in regions that are more LD-friendly..." Heidi, your combative attitude is making you jump to the wrong conclusion here. The only logical conclusion is that the riders in the west would rather ride ENDURANCE! Don, it's only combat if you were fighting in the first place. I'm just discussing, not engaging in combat. Maybe you were engaging in combat--I can't speak for you. As for West riders who would rather ride ENDURANCE, the ridership in the NW on endurance rides at those same events as compared to the ridership in the W region is in line with the relative membership. I couldn't find membership stats by region on the AERC site (can anybody help with that?) but the NW endurance ridership at those events that also hosted LD rides was 82% of the W endurance entry at comparable events. And if I'm not mistaken, our membership is less than 82% of the W membership... So I'd say we're holding our own there as well. :-) Heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
