Sorry, Pat.  Disagree about the placing in LD and judging for BC.  Burn,
burn, burn. :)  And telling someone they can't be a "true endurance rider"
if they can't do a fifty or 100 is just plain mean spirited.  I think there
is room for all distances in our sport and if we start putting up dividing
lines, then this is not the sport I thought it was!  There are some who
ride 25 LD for whom it is a greater accomplishment (due to disability or
whatever) than those who can easily do a 50 or 100.  I see no reason why
they should not receive miles, points and recognition as well.  So, we'll
have to find a way to disagree and still be "fellow" endurance riders.
