Not exactly a profitable venture, but it doesn't lose money either,

appreciate what it takes to put on a ride, and are very nice to mgmt

an out-timer.
Lynn,
I can't thank you enough. What a well "Cut to the Chase" email. Maybe this will open some eyes.
My mother and father put on so many rides in the 80's & 90's.. And lets just say, my Mom now colors her hair... It is a Very stressful thing to ENDURE. <g>
(Mother Nature, Money, Awards, Staff, Time... The list is endless)
And believe it or not, even after all those years of seeing them darn near kill themselves (and their SLAVE laborer, ME<g>) to make sure EVERYONE was happy and to assure riders a good FUN ride, I still want to put on a ride myself one day. I guess I should start by getting some trials in this forest. (but that is another issue entirely!)
I have never ridden your ride, but let me say THANK YOU! To you and all the other ride managers out there! We riders would have nothing without you!
Happy Trails All,
Jinnifer Plummer, ESMT
