I'm curious as
to what you all do for a living that allows you to take so much time off
from work to compete.
Back in
England I was a retail manager and I had to work saturdays (no choice as
it was our busiest day) so if I was in the same position now there is now
way I could go to rides. EnduranceGB had one ride on a saturday all the
rest of the ride calendar was on sunday's so I could only go to rides that
were no more than 2hrs away as we had to travel to and from the ride, do
the ride and come home the same day.
We also had to
have a crew for 40 miles and over. If you were found in breach of this you
were dq'd so it was hard finding friends willing to give up time to
crew.
I cannot wait
till spring to start competing here as it is so much more relaxed and not
having to worry whether I'll have a crew. Also we had to have our entries
in 2 wks before the ride. No turning up the day of the ride so commitment
from crew was essential.
