that it was announced at the ride meeting, so riders had plenty of
notice that they were planning on conducting the completion check this
way. 
 
 
Uh, whatever  happened to the concept that you have to have standards at least as stringent as AERC's, but that an individual ride can have standards MORE stringent, provided they are announced in advance??  This is no different from a ride requiring horses be shod (AERC does not require that), or not allowing younger riders at Tevis, or SERA having a no-riding-until-you-turn-8 rule.  Now, if they had allowed an hour and a half, THAT would be unacceptable, as it is less strict than "the rules."
