Re: sanctioing LD rides

[mbp@holly.colostate.edu (Brad Patterson)]

Greetings Steph!
Have, or will, Sanctioning Directors be instructed to pull/remove
sanctioning if they find out about an unsanctioned LD ride (25-35 miles)
being held in conjunction with an AERC sanctioned endurance ride and the RM
declines to sanction it?
Happitrails!
Brad.
