SaddleSore 2000 Count towards a Mile Eater Silver

[Dr. Tiki]

Im prefacing this with, my goal is to get a Mile Eater Silver Certificate this year.

Mile Eater SILVER
The Silver level is totally different (this time limit does not exist in any other Mile Eater program). ALL rides must take place in 12 consecutive months from first ride to last ride for all rides(1 year start to finish).
Silver status is earned by completing at least FIVE certified rides, of which 2 must be GOLD or INSANITY level or greater than 48 hours in duration, in ONE YEAR OR one certified ride per month during a one year period (12 rides in 12 months - one per month)

Would a Saddle Sore 2000 count towards a Mile Eater Silver as Multi-day ride? As technically the ride could be completed under 48 hours... so the next step up in the Saddle Sore series would be a Saddle Sore 3000 to make it count towards the Mile Eater Silver. Correct?

Or would it since you cannot technically complete the ride on one day which would make it a multi-day ride?

Would a 50CC count towards the Mile Eater Certificate since it can be completed in under 48 hours? ... confused.

The difference I see is that a SS2000 must be completed below 48h ( so it cannot be >48h ) and the 50cc can be.

There is a recent discussion concerning nesting that also touches on the mile eater certification, https://forum.ironbutt.org/index.php?threads/nesting-help-me-understand.2125/ From my understanding the SS2000 would be a standard ride. The SS2000 Gold would count as an insanity ride.

You can avoid the confusion by understanding that it is not a question of in what time a ride could be completed. It has everything to do with the maximum time limit for the ride. So, for example, a 50cc that was completed in 46 hours still counts toward the >48 hour category.
