That's partly what I'm going to try to tease out of the AUK people.
Most respond as armchair lawyers, pointing out what their interpretation of the current regs means you can and can't do. But most of the current regs were added as generalisations to prevent very specific problems, and the generalisations lead to unintended consequences especially in the light of things like AAA.
Loops are generally verboten, but that's within the context of a single ride.
Is doing the same DIY 200 every day considered doing loops? Not really, plenty of people have done similar.
Make that doing the same DIY 50 four times a day, for days on end? Hmm, we'll see.
Before AAA points existed (for DIYs) doing 4 x DIY 50 over 1 x DIY 200 would have made little sense so people would have been unlikely to care, but with AAA points it obviously does as it now enables the same loop to be ridden 4 times.
Anyway, we'll see what they say.

But then what's the gap? 24hr? If I ride a 100 in the morning and then another 100 in the evening they're clearly two different rides but it sounds like they'd not quite be in the spirit of things. But if they are treated as two separate 100s, how small a gap between the two rides before it becomes 'loops'?
