Barbara, I hope you and the other Directors know how much I appreciate
all of your hard work ... having been there for fourteen years I know
just how hard it is.

You know that in the past, when the Board made a mistake or an
ill-considered decision that turned out to have unintended
consequences, the Board was responsive to the concerns of the
membership and the ride managers and took steps to correct the
problem.  I hope you understand that my wish that the Board will do so
again, in this case, is not a slam at the Board.

I also hope that you don't consider conducting competitive trail rides
in conjunction with AERC endurance rides to be cheating, considering
that most of the Midwest Region rides have been doing this for
decades.
