A nice approach for the 25 at a recent ride (Tule Blues) was to take
completion time as the time at which pulse criteria was met at the end
of the ride.

Nice approach? THAT is AERC rules!!! You can almost take a good arab out of
a pasture, run him 25 miles and get your pulse down real quick, too. Takes
no brains to do that....

When I ran rides, I gave "completion only" to LDers....a blue ribbon with the
slogan "To Finish is to Win" on them. Everybody got one...and NOTHIN else.
