The way I read the rules to get credit for the ride you have to do
the same exact trail in the correct direction and order. That pretty
much eliminates rides that use different trails or different order of
trails for.

mention that if you elevate, you still only have until the cut off for
the 50s. So if the 25s left a lot later than 50s, they would lose that
time [but it would count in their final ride time]. If so, you would
want to try and have the 25s & 50s leave close together time-wise.
BUT don't the elevators end up having to do the exact trail as the 50s?
So it means some planning to make sure the 25s can start soon after
50s, but preferably on a different trail, but still be able to do the
entire 50 mile trail. Is that
right?

[RC] On elevators and the Shut Up and Ride
I'm betting
dollars to donuts that if I'd had an elevator from our 25 LD to a 50,
I'd have had at least a handful of riders opting up. Even with the
challenging terrain and the mud from Hurricane Frances aftermath.
Any statistics on what percentage of elevator riders (at each distance)
elect to elevate?
