Re: [RC] - Barbara McCrary

I remember many years ago being hassled by an endurance rider who seemed to
enjoy criticizing AERC, and he found a nice concerned person who was on the
board of directors....me.....to whom he could vent.  Because I felt it was
my duty to listen to everyone, I listened, and listened, and listened, and
finally I said, "If you don't like the way AERC is run, why don't you run
for the Board and help change things?"  To which he answered, in an surly
tone of voice, "I don't want to get involved in politics."  People who don't
like the way things are being run should stop criticizing and be willing to
step up and be part of the process of making things better.  'Nuff said.

I thought this was a forum to discuss and assist fellow riders, not to

re-write AERC rules. Perhaps that should be addressed to AERC. Can we get
back to positive thinking. Many people have ridden many miles without points
or recognition, does that make the ride less? I applaud the AERC and the way
the organization is operated. What a positive group! If changes need to be
made, petition AERC or run for office in the AERC. Is it possible to get get
back into helping one another within this forum?

Thanks

Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides,

everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each

You don't have to be a 100-mile rider or a multi-day rider to be an
endurance rider, but if you want to experience the finest challenges our
sport has to offer, you need to do both of those.
