A problem with extended truck mirrors (and duallys) is driving on narrower roads. Without the trailer. Be sure that the mirrors can be returned to a normal...

Several years ago we bought some extension mirrors that just slide on to the mirrors on my husband's Dodge Dually. They have a plastic screw that tightens...
Hi ALL: I just received the 2007 Membership List. The International List has been padded. My name does not belong on that list. I wonder how many more names...

Hope, I just checked the office database and you are not listed as a member of AERC-International. I don't have the paper copy of the membership list to see...
Mike is correct, Hope--if you aren't on the office data base as an AERC-I member, then the paper copy is a misprint. I do see where you are listed among the...
In response to:"Here is, presumably, credible information with respect to the idea that mandatory sanctioning of LD rides along with the non-member charge DOES...
I've received several questions lately about why a rider's point standings as shown in rider history are different than the point standings shown at ...
... Why am I not surprised? I can think of few ways more likely to cause low retention rates than "encouraging" people to join with large non-member fees. -- ...
That doesn't surprise me at all. There are a lot of people that do one or two rides a year - mostly LD's. Paying the day member fee is much more economical...
To add a little historical context to Mike's excellent post - The requirement for LD Sanctioning actually was put in place in 1984 when the LD program...
Truman, While "There are a lot of people that do one or two rides a year - mostly LD's. Paying the day member fee is much more economical than joining." can be...
You would think so but that doesn't seem to be happening from you previous post (something like 10 in 1200). I'm not sure the EN is that big of a draw - or...
It is a fact of life in the good old USA that some folk are terminally cheap. I have witnessed many folk sitting in bars complaining that an increase in fees,...
Very true ... but most of those 2 rides a years newbies don't know EN exists. Our local saddle club has a "join us" package, anytime someone shows up at an...
There are many reasons Day Members don't follow thru and become full members of AERC, but I think the most common reason is they come to the Fun Ride or LD...
It's a fact of life right now in the good 'ol USA that most folks are terminally broke. They can't afford to go to a bar... they can't afford to buy beer at...
Hi Randy, I don't agree. AERC does not have to come up with such a solution. It is not up to the AERC, an Endurance Riding organization, to try to convince...

I guess I didn't read Randy's post to mean anything close "catering" to anyone. Randy is correct - there needs to be effective marketing to introduce people to...
It is way past time that I sat down to my computer to convey my heartfelt thanks to everyone associated with this ride. The Patriot 100 has my vote as an...

Let's talk wallet economics here. Real discretionary dollars are much harder to come by. Prices of gas and diesel are at record highs and real inflation,...
Dawn & Kathy, I think the purist vision of endurance can easily co exist and should not feel threatened with the realities of growth and the pursuit of new ...
So, I have to disagree with the idea that AERC should not try to convince people to join AERC. I like the gains we have made with land managers to preserve...
I'd like to add to this, since while I am an AERC member, I'm a lot closer to the Day Members in my level of participation. I joined AERC (the first time) way...
Randy, Once again you are skirting the issue by bringing up a smoke screen... and of course you have to throw in a barb at the same time.? Perhaps you need to...
For those of us that are relative neophytes to endurance, we have no idea why the on-going feud/sensitivities of LD vs. Endurance continues. So pardon me if I...
I've been a member of AERC since 1987. haven't done a ride since 2001 for one reason or another. point is i still renew every year, send in the extra $10 to...
