mileage

[Chris Paus <paus@micoks.net>]

Maybe AERC is missing something here... If more than 1/3 of the members
ride LD rides and most seem to want their miles to count for total
accumulated mileage, maybe it is not listening to a good share of its
members. 

100 milers could argue that 50 milers are not really doing endurance. 

Is this a sport in which once you attain a certain level you can thumb your
nose at the people who are at a level below you? I've been told that AERC
is trying to increase membership and interest in the sport, but seems to be
shooting itself in the foot about doing so.

It would be fairly easy to track LD miles and endurance miles in separate
categories but also total them for lifetime accumulated miles. And would
sure go a long way to appease 35 percent of your membership.
