Brenda Baird [EMAIL PROTECTED] The distance was shortened to 80 miles because a section of the trail was dangerously flooded. Those who rode the remaining trail, 50 or 100 milers, did not see the closed off section to assess whether they deemed it passable or not. This action is consistent with AERC rules under the section governing ride managers' discretion to make trail length adjustments due to dangerous trail conditions. It has occurred at many rides, most with a much lower profile than Biltmore, so folks seldom take notice. FEI had nothing to do with it; in fact, the adjustment messed all the FEI stuff up and had the effect of essentially rendering it cancelled. Ann made a sound decision as (a great) ride manager within the AERC guidelines, and all riders, FEI or otherwise, will get mileage credit for the actual miles they completed.
