AERC National Championship Rides

These awards have changed over the years – through 1993, the award was based on the highest point earners in the AERC weight divisions. From 1994-1997, a National Championship Series of rides were held, with the national champions crowned as the highest series points-earners. Since 1999, the National Championship rides of 50 (or 55) and 100 miles have produced AERC national champions.
