[QUOTE="WomanRider, post: 1092917, member: 71078"] I have a blast riding the FES. I have only been riding motorcycles for three seasons, and my daughter two. We are still inexperienced and like the fact that the first loop is 12 mph. During the FES we have had up to 4 family members riding at a time. During the 12mph loop we are able to ride as a family. This loop is more family oriented since we are able to communicate and help each other. During the 18 mph loop, we find ourselves riding alone because we have different riding abilities. So my suggestion is to keep the 12 mph for all riders and the 18 mph for the older riders as we have during the 06 season. The 18 mph gives us time to improve out skills. As for determining the age of the rider for the season, we had an issue with it this year, since my daughter turned 16 in June. The first race she rode this year was Kalkaska, June 10th. She was 15 at the time; we were not sure which class to sign her up for, so we asked at sign up. We were told she could ride either the 11-15 women’s or the 16+ women’s. She chose to ride the 16+ women’s. She wanted to accumulate points in the same class for the season. If we new about the age cut off rule, she would have ridden the younger class. So, as suggested earlier by someone, please post the age cut off date a rider rides for the year on the flyers, and class listing at the event. This rule should be known by those working at sign-up. For class breakdown: Yes, divide the 16+ class. I like the way it is divided in proposal 1. Why? My opinion is biased so I will not say. I wonder if the women’s class should be: up to 18 and 19+. The younger class does not have as many participants as the older. This might even these classes up. This could also discourage the younger girls, since they would be competing against high school age riders. This was just a thought. Might be best to keep the class as is and change it in future years depending on participation. The 12 to 15 year old classes might need to be by 12 years; 13 years, 14 years and 15 years. This would help developmental differences between the ages. The way it is broken down in proposal 3 the classes would be too big. As far as trophies go to help the clubs if more classes are added: All children under 15 should get trophies. The older classes should be based on a percentage of riders signed up just like the Sunday enduros. I have trophies to donate back to the clubs. Who wants them? [/QUOTE]
