Re: CTRs

Loiuse,
Aren't the Endurance rides usually on Saturday & the CTR's on Sunday?
(The few UMECRA rides I've been to were that way.)That's not quite the 
same as running 2 events (with one not being AERC sanctioned) on the 
same trail at the same time. I would have a problem with that, & I don't 
think it should be allowed. What a ride manager does using the same 
trail the next day is their business, especially since many riders like 
to ride both types of events.
