    [RC] constitutes a start / vet checks? - Linda Hedgpeth


    DaveR. rocketman@xxxxxxxxx WROTE:
    >>>>>It amuses me a little to see some of these rides getting a=
     spotlight on the usual and casual management that has been in=
     place since the beginning (likee everyone didn't know that,=
     duh).  I rode the Outlaw Trail several times, and it was=
     business as usual that  Crockett often didn't have any vets at=
     the vet checks, he didn't mark his trail (told folks if they=
     didn't want to get lost just ride with him), and it was common=
     knowledge that pretty much all riders received a completion no=
     matter what time they finished (a good friend finished almost an=
     hour and a half after cutoff and was given a completion).  We=
     all know this stuff has been going on at the XP, the Outlaw, and=
     Randy's rides for  years, just part of the fun of the relaxation=
     of the multi day rides.  It isn't just the duck at the xp, it is=
     pretty much all multi day rides I'v been to anyway, these rides=
     are fun, why ruin them with asking Dave, Crockett and Randy to=
     follow rules and spoil a good time!! >>>>>
    
    Ok, I'll bite......with some questions...........
    
    Aren't there supposed to be actual *vets* at vet checks?  I never knew
    it was "OK" not to have vets at these checks.  According to what the
    writer above is saying, a ride can be sanctioned with AERC and not
    have vets at vet checks?
