Re: [RC] useful completion awards - m l

We just want an award that we can wear with pride or
is useful.  Even a picture is nice.  If we have to
make our own completion awards, the point is lost.

:-)  If you want a t-shirt with that particular ride
logo, maybe 
go to the RM and ask them if you can get a copy to
give to your t-
shirt maker. If not, choose another design and have
your t-shirt 
maker make up the shirt to say whatever you want.
Just cause it didn't 
come from the RM doesn't make the shirt any less
special or any less 
an award for an accomplishment.

I did that for Liberty Run. I was disappointed that
I wasn't getting 
a t-shirt for my first 50 completion, even though
the mug is cute.
So I went and asked Sharon of www.horsedesigns.com
to make me a 
t-shirt to commemorate the event. Doesn't have the
ride logo, but 
it's no less special to me than if Vicki had handed
it to me. In 
fact, it's more special! I had Sharon put my name
and Tanna's name 
on the back of the T-shirt, as well as the date, the
ride name, and 
the distance on the front with the design I chose.
Sharon was prompt,
the workmanship is excellent and the price good.

Not saying I'll do that for every ride, but I
thought (and hubby 
agreed) that it was a special ride, so deserved a
special award.

I really wish at some of these rides the awards
were
worth staying for.  As a rider, I love the
T-shirts,
but I really like awards that have the date on
them. 
There are some ride managers, I won't mention
names,
that give the same award every year that has no
date. 
What is the purpose of that?  It gives nothing to
the
rider for their accomplishment.
