0) Rules get confusing... both to write and read.
1) Ride time is different from Completion time.
[ This is where I got confused. ]
2) Completion time *includes* manditory vet holds.
3) Completion time *including manditory vet holds* cannot exceed
12 hours for a 50 mile ride.
4) Ride time is simply the time a rider takes to complete the 50 miles
*excluding* manditory holds. Thus, if a ride includes a 1 hour manditory
lunch hold, the ride time should never exceed 11 hours.
5) Ride time is what is printed in the AERC Endurance News
6) The minimum pace of an endurance ride is not set by the AERC, but
instead by a joint effort between the ride manager and vets who set
the manditory hold times.
7) The minimum pace of an endurance ride may differ from one ride
to another.
8) Under special circumstances Completion Only can be granted by ride
management and vet.
[Just FYI I'm not knocking this, in fact I think this is a great tool
for ride management / vets especially when used to encourage Good Sams]
I wasn't trying to start a flame war here, just clear up where the
confusion was. Guess I found out. Anyways, there it is: a layman's
version of the total time rules... hope it helps.
