Re: [AERCMembersForum] Re: [RC] Mea Cupla, was: Weight Divisions - Joe LongOn Sun, 30 Jul 2006 19:24:39 -0400, Truman Prevatt <tprevatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Joe no Mea Cupla necessary in this quarter. You made the correct decision for the future of the AERC - a decision that will in the long run promote growth in the organization and more participation across the board by all divisions in the sport. Once you look forward and make a good decision, it seems folly to try to turn back the clock. Truman In some fifteen years now of trying to make it work, going from an eight-ride series, to a three-ride series, to a single National Championship ride with qualifications, to watering down the qualifications, and increasing the number of weight divisions from two, to three, to four along the way, we haven't developed a system that has good participation and the respect of the membership. I'd say that's long enough to admit that we've been going in the wrong direction. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.chiprider.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
