Ridecamp: Re: Fw: [RC] Finish lines and criteria

Clearly if Duane, who was chair of the Vet committee when the "30 
minutes to meet pulse at a vet check" and proposed the rule change, 
stated the intent was only at vet checks and not at the end - then that 
states the intent. Looks like rules committee should make the necessary 
wording changes to rule 6 to capture that original intent and present it 
to the board so it can be changed in the rule book.

The sooner the better, before this confusion gets out of hand.
