Up front it states that records shall be maintained. This is the only
point where the concept of maintaining records are mentioned. I later
defines the that come under the AERC umbrella, "endurance ride" and
"limited distance" ride.
As they should be the bylaws are silent on how the awards should be
awarded for anything. They are silent on mixing or segregation of
endurance vs. LD miles. BTW nowhere in the bylaws does it define
Limited Distance is for training, now riders, etc. In fact a search
shows that the word "training" does not appear in the bylaws. The
definition of limited distance is almost identical to that of an
"endurance ride" except for mileage involved and age of horses
involved.
The requirement to keep records is fully satisified by the database.
The issue of if miles should be awarded as combined miles is a
political question that is up to the BOD to deal with - it's not
specified in the bylaws.
