[RC] Credit for 50 miles - k s swigart

I train for an accurate mileage then when the ride is
over and my GPS says 42mi I am happy to get credit
for 50mi.


Personally, I am not happy to get credit for 50 miles if I know that I
have only gone 42.  By sanctioning a 42 mile ride as 50 miles, the ride
manager has turned me into a liar, has made the AERC's records
inaccurate, and consequently makes the collecting of these records
meaningless.

I would be perfectly happy to do this 42 mile ride as an unsanctioned
trail ride (there are plenty of 42 mile rides that I can enjoy the
ride), but by telling me (and the rest of the world) afterwards that I
have actually done 50 miles takes some of the fun out of it.
