Ridecamp: RE: [RC] Rule Changes

A quick check shows that this was the way it was written in 1990 (1990 AERC Rules and Regulations) and I am sure that is the way it was written when we codified the AERC Rules and Regulations. I have a very old copy, on fanfold dot matrix printed, That was used for the original proposal for codification.

Correct. Currently the rule reads:

 

11.2 Special event rides are series of rides on consecutive days, totaling more than three days or 150 miles. Special Qualification rides are rides with entry qualifications other than those contained in rule #3. Special event and special qualification rides shall require approval of the AERC Board of Directors for sanction for the first two years. 

 

I've heard several reasons for wanting to change it to include 3-day (150 mile) rides as special events, including consistency between Pioneer points and special event rides, but I am personally (my opinion only) not in favor of the proposed rule change - for many other reasons. I'd leave it the way it is.

I just looked in the book, it says MORE than 3 days are special event. The way I understand the proposed change is that it would make 3 day rides special events and subject to board approval.  Thus my objection to that change. Rite, Steph??? Annie G.

Uh, when did this change to being in the purvey of the regional
sanctioning director?  If memory serves (and granted I'm not going back
and looking this up), three-day rides have traditionally been special
events like longer multi-days, and have always been under the jurisdiction
of the special sanctioning director--which included board approval for the
first two years....
