RE: [RC] LD weird logic and future repercussions to those who start LD debate! :-) - Jannelle Wilde & Adam FalkSo I gather that in some parts of the country, all distances are charged the ride fee. In the NW, all distances are charged differently. While I think that it is fair to charge the same as the trail takes the same amount to mark (tho more is required for longer distances), the awards cost the same, etc. However, when I made a comment about it, one of the responses I got was that we'd probably see fewer and fewer riders in total. (Regional tradition, I guess.) That being said, on the rides where I offer a 100, we might have a pot luck in the evening at the vet check to greet the 80s and 100s, but no official meal. And we don't do the awards until Sunday morning. If you leave early, you can pick up your shirt, or whatever. I give the 100 awards out first so they have their pick of size or type or whatever. And I've seen a lot of RMs doing this out here. So we try to give consideration to the longer distances and acknowledge their accomplishment as being different than others by trying to treat them at least as well:) Jannelle Jannelle Wilde & Adam Falk 584 Romie Howard Rd.
