Re: [RC] Trail judge etc. - Kristen A FisherIt's been fairly common in the rides around here to have spotters at designated points that you have to pass and they record your number, and grease sticks hanging from trees where you mark your horses neck to indicate you have passed a certain point. Even so, clever dedicated cheaters can still find ways to cheat.

Anyone having hard evidence of cheating has a moral obligation to talk to the ride manager, and/or file a protest. If you have no proof or are too cowardly to file a protest, don't say anything. Rumor mongering is not productive, and is cowardly. As far a trail judges. The AERC does not need any new rules or requirements. A ride manager can post people on the trail, put up passwords, places to stamp rider cards, or anything else he/she feels is required to ensure a fair competition.
