Fw: [RC] newbie question re time limits in endurance v. ctr - Dot Wiggins
AERC rules on time are: 100
miles, 24 hours,
50 miles 12 hours, 25 miles 6 hours.
(All times include any hold times, so you may have 5 hours riding time for a 25
if there is an hour hold.) All other distances, always in
multiples of 5, are pro-rated by this speed. Thus a 30 has a total time of
7:15 to complete.
And Ed has a nice discription of the differences
between endurance and ctr.

ctr
can someone please explain to this newbie why are the time limitis in
endurance longer than in ctr?
i'm a newbie to both disciplines. i did my first 30 mile ctr last
may. loved it! from what i recall the time allowed to finish was between 4
hours and 45 minutes and 5 hours and 15 minutes and that included the mid point
vet check. i'm thinking of entering a ride at the end of november which is
sanctioned by aerc. the ride info indicates that 8 hours are allocated for the
30 mile. am i reading something wrong? is there really that much time given to
finish 30 miles? i'm not complaining, i'm just trying to understand why the
difference?
