Heidi,

	I don't agree with that.  I set my rides up so that there is plenty of
water and if water can be brought in, there is water at least every five
miles.  But I also understand that there may be places that a crew can
get water to a rider even though water was only two miles back.  If a
rider is going for top ten and has a crew and wants that crew to meet
him at certain spots, I don't have a problem with that and I certainly
don't expect that crew to provide water for every rider.

That's just my perspective.
