Re: [RC] WEIGHT DIVISIONS - heidiI'm new to the sport but I don't see why they allow you to weigh waterbottles and food and such. Those items should not be with you at the end of the ride. They will be consumed. There is no need to put the weight of those items in your total weight. The AERC rules are not specific about what is weighed--the above is simply common sense, but does get abused at times. FEI rules are very clear on this point, and (particularly if you are close to the weight cut-off) the "stuff" you carry to make weight is inventoried and can be checked periodically throughout the ride to see if it is still there. While FEI rules do tend to get a bit picky at times, AERC rules tend to go the other direction toward simplicity, leaving riders on the honor system.
