RE: [RC] [RC] [RC] Start - Nancy Mitts
John,
The rules already specify "there must be a pre-designated finish line
perpendicular across the trail."
I believe someone else as already stated that the start (for the purpose of
AERC) should be the point at which the clock has started, the trail is open,
and the riders move and cross that starting point.
What ride managers choose to do with the rest of that entry fee and any
awards or prizes is entirely their business.
Wouldn't proper procedure be to send this to the rules committee for
drafting of official language?
Why is "start" such a difficult concept? Where do managers start measuring
the trail? When do they start timing the competition? I just don't grasp how
defining this would affect the "atmosphere" of a ride. I'd guess they can
officially "start" 5 miles out from camp if they choose, as long as EVERYONE
at the ride starts in the same place, on the same clock time, and the
mileage is measured from THAT start point.

Why not draft the rule change you'd like. call it rule 1.1.2 and in it,
define start and finish??
