RE: sanctioing LD rides

[Steph Teeter <step@fsr.com>]

Not in so many words. The general discussion was that this should
not be happening, but that AERC has no way of knowing if and when
it is. All seemed to agree that it was illegal, but according to some
there is in fact no binding rule to this affect.

Greetings Steph!
Have, or will, Sanctioning Directors be instructed to pull/remove
sanctioning if they find out about an unsanctioned LD ride (25-35 miles)
being held in conjunction with an AERC sanctioned endurance ride and the RM
declines to sanction it?
Happitrails!
Brad.
