Ishy- I did pay my way. I just gave an answer as to why maybe we don't see more women there.

I rode the SSDT in 2003 and finished. Most women would not have a problem with the amount of days you ride but a lot has to do with cost. Actually in 2003 there were 8 women who rode. If you imagine how many men ride trials in the world compared to women then it was a big turn out. At a women's world round there is only around 30 riders. For me it is not the distance but the cost of traveling from the US and such. Many of the women probably don't have the money to ride it. Maybe this year the men can take up a collection to pay for say 10 women to ride. Just a thought!
