Re: [RC] AHA Sanction rides - Eric RueterI will not disagree that a local club in AZ hosts or has hosted an Endurance Ride that is not AERC sanctioned - I live on the other side of the country. I will however, disagree that it was / is AHA sanctioned. This is from the on-line 2007 AHA Handbook, Article 1611 deals with AHA recognized Endurance Rides (i.e. "Local Rides" / Qualifying rides not Regional or National Championship Rides). Article 1611.2 states "The current AERC rules will be followed except where superceded by AHA rules as published in the current AHA Handbook." There are no sections of Article 1611 which currently supercede any of the AERC rules (the other two rules deal with a description of an AHA Endurance Ride and the AHA sanctioning fee and procedures). Now I guess you can *use* an organization's rules without paying a sanction fee, but the AERC Rules appear to me to make the assumption that the event they are governing is a sanctioned event. The very first line in the rules is "The following rules and regulations have been adopted by the Board of Directors of the AERC and are binding on AERC sanctioned rides." Just glancing at the AHA Handbook, AHA does have it's own set of rules for CTR, and / or will accept the rules of about 15 CTR Organizations (the first one listed is AHA). thanx eric Eric Rueter Rueter Consulting, Inc.

There are a couple of them that I have heard of and they are 'open' to all breeds. AZ has a few. Usually an AHA club will do them. Regional rides usually piggy back but ECTRA for some reason will not co-sanction with AHA. Something to do with the sweeps money available. My CTRs that are co sanctioned with NATRC are also AHA sanctioned as local rides since the sweeps program went to point system. We have considered sanctioning open CTRs thru AHA only. AHA also sanctions their National Championship CTR as a separate event. None of this has anything to do with the pleasure trail ride parties. Where I have heard at max they may ride 10 miles a day. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
