Although I suspect that rule L1 was not intended to allow 3 (THREE) Limited Distance Rides to be held in conjunction with just 1 (ONE) Endurance Ride, the rule itself could be interpreted that way. If the BOD doesn't like it, they will have to change the rule to tighten things up :) L1. Limited Distance rides must be at least 25 miles but not exceed 35 miles in length. These rides must be sanctioned into the Limited Distance Program and held in conjunction with or WITHIN AN ADJACENT 24 HOUR TIME PERIOD [emphasis is mine] of an AERC Sanctioned Endurance Ride. There are two adjacent 24 hour time periods for every AERC Sanctioned Endurance Ride. If the Endurance Ride starts at 6:00AM Saturday and ends at 6:00PM that evening, the two adjacent periods are 6:00AM Friday through 6:00AM Saturday and 6:00PM Saturday through 6:00PM Sunday. An RM could hold one LD starting just about anytime on Friday the RM wanted and ending at or before 5:59:59AM Saturday and then start another LD in conjunction with, ie, simultaneously, the Endurance Ride and then start a third ride sometime after 6:00PM on Saturday and ending no later than 6:00PM Sunday. I suppose one could be a bit stricter and say, "But it is 'or' not 'and/or' which means a max of only two rides." In other words, "held in conjunction with or within..." could be interpreted to mean the RM could hold ONE ride "in conjunction with" OR - not AND/OR - TWO rides "within an adjacent 24 hour time period". Alack alas... the devil is in the details. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
