Re: [RC] New 30 minute rule for 50s - Long - Annie George
I am behind on my e/mail, so I
don't know what ride we are talking about, or what vets, it doesn't matter who
or where, I don't need to know that............... But I am
very bothered by the vets taking liberty to break rules, if it is indeed a rule,
and I do think it is. Why did they make a 30 min. time cut off,
was there any acceptable/good reason for doing it? Could one of the vets perhaps
answer this question. I think this is a rather serious thing and I would very
much like to have it clear. Annie G.

No, that's not legal.
60 minutes for completion check,
it's in the rules.
30 minutes for LD only.
At least it was
applied to all competitors equally, and I also heard that it was announced
at the ride meeting, so riders had plenty of notice that they were
planning on conducting the completion check this way. Could've been
worse.
