This restriction was removed from the rules at the midyear board meeting this year. At this point, there is no rule which restricts a rider from entering both (actually, all three) of the sanctioned events at one time. There WAS a rule which prohibited this. That rule was removed 5 months ago?? > At 05:15 AM 2/24/2004, Susan Brehm wrote: > has to be at least 3 days and at least 155 miles to be Pioneer (multi-day). > At 05:50 AM 2/24/2004, Truman Prevatt wrote: > Pioneer is the "official term" for a ride of at least 3 days of at least 155 miles The term "Pioneer" describes an AERC awards program. It is incorrect to relate that term with the process by which rides are sanctioned. Whereas the term "multi-day" is referenced in the rules as a sequence of rides of 3 days and 155+ miles which requires a special process of sanctioning. AERC does not sanction Pioneer rides. AERC does sanction multi-day rides. AERC has an awards program which is associated with multi-day rides. For example, the board could vote to change the Pioneer awards program to cover a sequence of 2 days of at least 50 miles each. That would not require a change to the rules, only a change to the awards system. The board could change the process of special sanctioning, changing the threshold to 4 days, or 2 days, or getting rid of the veto power currently in place. While it would require a rules change to do so, it would not automatically change the awards system. They are two seperate things. johnt ============================================================ Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances... The horse, the horse!
