One more time:  drag riders are the exception, not the rule.  No ride
should be criticized for the lack of them.

I didn't see the maps in question, but most ride maps aren't all that
useful and some rides don't have maps at all.  The Big Horn is almost
the only ride I know of that will send you detailed maps with GPS
waypoints in advance of the ride if you request them (I loaded the
waypoints into my GPS in case I needed them last year -- I didn't).
