Quick question.
Are rides done on the solstice their own cert in addition to whatever ride one did? Ie saddle sore 1600k on the solstice, all in province.
Is that one, 2 or 3 certs i need to put in for?
Thanks for the help!

The basic rule for multiple certificates on the same ride is that if one ride is by definition completed within another, we only issue one certificate. A common case is where by completing a Bun Burner GOLD, one by definition completes a Saddlesore 1000 and a Bun Burner 1500. So we only issue one certificate.

The counter example is completing a Bun Burner 1500 and within that ride, a Saddlesore 1000. Because one can complete the larger ride without necessarily completing the smaller ride (e.g., one completes the first 1,000 miles in 25 hours but 1,500 miles in 36 hours), we could issue both.

In your case, both an in-province Saddlesore 1600k and a solstice 1600k are just forms of a standard Saddlesore 1600k. So we would only issue one certificate. Take your pick of which one.
