I have my digital camera with me at rides ( a single use 35mm would work as well).  I take a picture of my card at the end of each vet check.  That way if I get the card back, great.  If not, no biggie, I have a photo that has the data for my records.  When we were pulled I just asked the vet. sec. to hold the card for me so I could photograph it.  They kept the card, but I had the data.  Hope this helps.

For our ride, I need the cards to tabulate results and minute details.  I prepare a results list that gives the arrival time and recovery time for every rider into every checkpoint.  I print this and send it to every rider who started our ride.  I will cheerfully return the card to any rider who asks for it.  Same with BC score card.  We have about one rider out of the usual 75 starters per year ask for the rider card to be returned to them.  AERC does not ask for rider card at all.  I keep them for one year, then discard them.

I have had my card taken from me twice. And I was not happy about it. Fortunately, my husband is a very non-confrontational person and kept me from being too big of an idiot. He took a picture of the ride card front and back before releasing it to ride management. Viola, I no longer cared about the actual card since I had the data. One of my cards I had returned to me, the other is still in never never land. But I don't really care as the data is safely in hand. Won't help past lost cards, but might be a good idea for some people for the future.

I have no problem giving the AERC that data to do with as they wish - but I paid my money to join AERC and enter the ride, and if I am pulled I would at least like to take home one piece of paper - or get it back from AERC when they have complied whatever they are compiling.
