Re: [RC] Newer GPSs and accuracy - Katrina Mosshammer
From the rule book.
1.1.1 Mileage over 50 must be a multiple of five,
ending in a 0 or 5, whichever is the nearest whole number to the actual ride
mileage (e.g., 52.4 miles = 50, 52.5 miles = 55).
L1.1 Mileage must be a multiple
of 5, ending in 0 or 5, whichever is the nearest whole number to the actual ride
mileage (e.g. 22.4 = 20 miles, 22.5 = 25
miles.)

I think AERC rules allow a 50 >> mile ride to have a 5 mile error. So,
