How utterly depressing!  And all this time, we have been praising the 
efforts of all riders to finish, no matter where.  Goodbye to the idea of 
riding at your own pace and having a good time.  Well, I guess that wouldn't 
apply to an endurance championship in world-wide situations, would it?  Lud 
and I had the pleasure of riding through the Austrian countryside in 1985 
for 100 miles.  We would have missed so much if the rules were like the ones 
being proposed.
