Re: barring horses, and LD

Merryben,

Whoa -  I said that it would be poor planning by the board 
IF the LD fee and the lumping of all distances from 5-45 miles
were lumped into one question.  Since they are not then it is not
poor planning. My point was that I had no problem with the fee but
did (and will vote against) the expansion of LD and if the 2 items
were together it would of complicated the voting.  Since they are
separate then its fine.  They were presented to ridecamp together
so I think my confusion was understandable.  And I do commend you
and Bob Morris and the other Board members for taking the time to
serve.  When membership complains about the board they should 
remember how few people allow themselves to be nominated every 
year.  I don't expect to be serving any time soon - This is only 
my 3rd year in AERC and I don't feel I've been around long enough
yet, however I will not apologize for a bit of e-mail campaigning
against the proposed LD rule change.  I really feel it could cause
problems.  And  I do ride both LD and 50's and hopefully will do
some 100's in the future.

just quit complaining about everything thing we do.  When we do make bad and
unenforceable decisions, believe it or not we try to change them.  If you
really feel strongly about it, don't vote for the by-laws changes.  It's that
simple.  I might not vote for them myself.....Maryben Stover, West Region
