Rule 5.2 Maximum competition time will
be according to the following prescription: 12 hours for 50 miles, 24
hours for
100 miles, and other distances to be according to the chart in
Ride time is the time ridden on the trail (excluding hold times).
The ride times are what is listed in the AERC results not competition
times.
Most 25's have a 20 to 40 minute hold time which gives 5:20 to 5:30 of
ride time available to finish a ride. My mare could (and has ) walked
that.
It ia pretty generous amount of time to finish a ride and it gives you
a much longer time than in the CTR's I am familiar with (3:45 - 4:30)
for a 25 with a 10 minute stop for pulse and water.

Not to confuse "competition time" (the 6 hour max on a 25)
and "completion time" (or the more common "ride
time") which is the time it takes to finish the course. The hold
times are not counted in the later, but they are in the former. go

-- I don't get a completion -- I'm OT. Long rest times just
mean we have to book harder out on the trail, which sorta negates the
purpose of resting <g>.
