Re: [RC] [RC] LD Rides - Richard Sacks - Sharon LevasseurI believe that was just being used as an example....? -Sharon L. www.ZEGifts.com Quoting Barbara McCrary <bigcreekranch@xxxxxxxxxx>: I have never seen a 50-mile ride that did not record the finishing times of all riders. Where and when did this happen???

I can keep track of that myself and I do. I know when the ride started and I know what time we finish. I can figure out actual riding time on the trail if I don't want to include holds. I don't need a vet card to know how fast my horse recovers. What I do need official times for is to see how many hores I beat or that beat me. If you are looking to see how you did in relation to other competitors then I guess the official placing is important. Is that why you wanted your placing officially recorded? Do you really equate entering a ride the same as riding with friends? Rides provide me with a marked trail, water and hay along the way, a vet to check my horse, radio crews to keep track of me in case I am lost, lunch out on the trail so I don't have to carry it on the saddle, and a place to camp, usually on private land that I wouldn't be able to use if I were just with friends. You must have really nice friends if they provide all of this for you when you go out and ride :) Kim How would you feel if you rode 50 miles and didn't have the times recorded. Would you do it once, twice, 5 times or maybe nine until you said why am I doing this when other organizations will record my times or I can ride with a bunch of friends and get the same jollies. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
