Kathy, thanks for bringing this up, and now that you have, I DO remember that the cancellation of ROC that year was due to a requested date change that could not be met.  Too bad the RM didn't go ahead and request a date for the following year.  As a sanctioning director with many years' experience, it was my duty to try to avoid having more than one ride of the same length on the same day within the same region.  Hundred-mile RMs wanted at least 3 weeks between 100-milers.  It was tough sometimes, because of ride site restrictions (on public lands) and other considerations.

The fact remains, the ROC *was* AERC sanctioned... for the originally

requested June date.  It was only after the requesting person found

out they had procrastinated too long and could not also CEI /FEI

sanctioning did they request a move to October.  The October date

requested landed square on top of another already sanctioned 100 mile

ride.  But no other date was good enough for the requesting RM.

 

What is up?  Don't people remember this?  There was a huge discussion

about it on RC.  It's all in the archives.

 

OK, here's one for you.  If *you* were the sanctioning director and a

RM requested a date that already had a sanctioned ride what would

you do?  What if it wasn't the ROC?  Would the decision be different?

 

Are there rides and ride managers out there that don't have to follow

normal AERC sanctioning rules?
