Re: [RC] cellphones on trail - heidi

If I did have my cell with me during a ride it would be for those
purposes only.  When I carry it with me I turn it OFF, so I do not take
calls while riding (and also save my battery) but have if if I need to
make a call.

Given the nature of our sport, that's why it doesn't make sense to be
specific and outlaw cell phones or such, but rather to leave the rule
written the way it is.  Although it is difficult to enforce as such,
people who habitually cheat in such a way (I've known of only one
rider/crew that was blatant about this) usually do end up getting caught
sooner or later, and if not censured by AERC, at least censured by other
riders who don't care to see the rules broken.  It is my observation that
the majority of riders DO try to follow the spirit of the rules.
