Question for you since I don't know the answer, what if
someone was hurt and still wanted to ride back and whoever
went to look for them or help them rode back with them,
entered or not? I know if I had volunteered to help at a
ride and wasn't riding in it, I certainly wouldn't want to
pay the registration fee, just to go out to reflag a trail
section, or......... Or what if someone was out marking a
poorly marked section of trail and rode back in with a
rider or two? Just trying to think of all the reason why a
non-registered rider might be out there. Or what if you did
run across a pleasure rider who was riding the same section
of a trail back to camp and who rode along with you? Do you
have to tell them to distance themselves so you don't get
disqualified?

Just wondering.....
