I thought that people saying riders elevating from a 25 to a 50 would
only have 11 hours (assuming the 25 started 1 hour later) to complete
the 50 miles was odd, too.
So I looked it up.
Here is the relevant part. The entire elevation rule is quoted below my sig.
Endurance:
1.2.4 If the starting times are not the same, elevating riders must
have the time limits of Rule 5 applied to their original ride's
starting time.
LD:
L1.2.4 If starting times are not the same, elevating riders must have
the time limits of Rule 5 applied to their original ride's starting
time.
In the SE very few riders take more than 10 hours or so to finish so I
doubt if this ever came up. Thanks for pointing it out.
One thing I found interesting. The rules do not state that an elevated
rider must do the same trails/same loops in the same order as the
riders that started out in the longer distance. Is that in another
document? Since the elevated rider is not riding for placement in the
longer distance, does it really matter if they do the exact same loops
as the original longer distance riders?
Rule 6 states
Completion requires meeting all of the following criteria:
6.d. states
Following the prescribed course, and doing multiple loops in the
correct order.
to get a competition for a 50 mile ride one must follow the 50 mile
trail in the correct order.
