Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

Amber - we (officiates of RC) truly want all the news/coverage we can  
get. We simply don't have the resources (time, money, staff) to be  
everywhere at once. We contacted GSFHR several times last year about  
being there, or sending somebody there for coverage. Nothing came of  
it, they didn't seem to be interested (or were too busy/overwhelmed).  
The Eu. Championship offered support to Endurance.Net (lodging and  
press accreditation for me and Merri although we had to buy plane  
tickets and all the rest) and seemed to really want us there. In  
addition there were at least a dozen AERC members (support group and  
4 horses and riders) who travelled really really far to get to that  
ride too.

We do what we can, but for the most part it's the 'volunteers' that  
keep Ridecamp rolling, somebody someplace with a cellphone or  
internet or a story to tell. We welcome all of it.
