>>Why not do it? If the members of AERC are worried about

I really dont think it would bringing it back. Even tho you may have
more 100 entries, you would probably have fewer 100 completions. Especially the
first time 100 mile riders, if you give them the chance to whimp out, by that I
mean nothing at all wrong with the horse or them, just a bit tired and a little
afraid of the distance, I think it would hurt the first time 100 mile
rider. Im facing my first 100 next summer, and I sure do not want
the bail out option available to me.
