>>One thing that's always puzzled me is why the 75 mile ride isn't more
popular. It's long enough to get into the "true endurance" range, and
to require more strategy and attention to detail -- but at 18 hours
instead of 24 is easier logistically for riders, crews, and management
than a 100. I've always thought it was an excellent distance, but very
few rides are run at it.

Hi Joe,

I think the reason many people don't want to do the 75 milers is a matter
of points. If you are going to put in that much preparation and training,
you might as well go for the double points.
