Re: [RC] long /limited distance - Barbara McCrary

But you have to consider that AERC rules state an endurance ride must be 50 miles or greater, or perhaps it says not less than 50 miles.  Either way, it means that the rounding off to the nearest 5 miles begins only above 50 miles.

That 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.

The acutaly wording is "...not less than 50 miles..."
      
Bingo.

But then we have the rule that we have to round to the nearest 5 miles, so
isn't that practically 47.5 miles or more?
