Re: [RC] long /limited distance - heidiThat is an interesting point. The quantization for distance for an endurance rides is defined in the rules to be 5 miles. Therefore one could eaisly argue and technically be correct that anything from 47.50000000000001 to 52.499999999999999999 is in fact a 50 mile ride. I expect that is not what the people that wrote the rule meant but that is what it means. No time to go dig through and find the exact verbiage this morning, but am pretty sure that as Barbara stated, the rules specifically address the rounding issue and state that a 50 must still be at least 50, and that rounding only applies to the increments over 50, so that they are sanctioned to the nearest 5 miles. In any event, taken all together, that is the gist of it. Heidi ============================================================ You don't have to be a 100-mile rider or a multi-day rider to be an endurance rider, but if you want to experience the finest challenges our sport has to offer, you need to do both of those. ~ Joe Long ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
