It has always been my understanding that a 4.5 mile error was allowed.  For 
example, a ride could be 45.5 miles and be considered a 50 mile ride.  45 
miles or less and it could not be considered a 50.  I think measurement has 
to be 1/2 mile over the nearest increment of 5 to be considered the next 
highest mileage.  The one exception is on an LD ride, and it has to be a 
minimum of 25.
That's the way I remember it from my days as a sanctioning director for the 
W region.
