I have said this before.
It is so easy to keep tight reins on the LD event for newcomers and a 
dimension of strategy for people who do this event.
Simply put three or more vet checks or "gates"  for that event.
Yeah, I know you will say that the ride managers can't do all that with 
vets.... but you can still just use PR gates that are staffed with 
volunteers OR even by the riders themselves. New concept. Hey, the Duck 
has some self service turn around marshals at his events.
This would not only slow down their event but would also force them to 
KNOW how to take their own pulses, etc.
I do not suggest a new rule (I hate them..) but maybe an encouragement 
and support for RM's that do that....
AERC could make a suggestion statement in its tools for Ride Managers.
