I'm not saying you are entirely wrong, but you just made a ton of incorrect assumptions there.
All I'm saying is that if you plan stuff out right, you can get easily get over 60 days with around 30 of them being at Mammoth if you just go to the race weekends. The school offerings are great schools. There is a really strong and growing community.
My friend Chuck at 24 is now a regional Ride rider. He was on the UCLA team and grew up in so cal. He was pre med and is now preparing for grad school.
Laura who I think you know just got into grad school after being president at the team at my school.
The reason I support this so heavily is that there are programs and what not that are better at say, the U of U but if you feel like being an aerospace engineer or archaeologist, you are better off in So. Cal.
I'm not trying to convince people to come here, i'm saying it is an option that shouldn't be laughed at.
The schools on that list have enough members in their university and have enough funding from their schools to make the club feasible. UCLB gets 10,000 a year for their club from their school to help make it affordable.
That and having surfing/the beach/ mountains/ and being an entertainment hub is enough to help make it through the off seasons and not be too upset.
