Title: Awards Banquet

Well I know of a group that attends all the awards banquets and not only do they yell for their fellow team mates they also clap for everyone who gets an award.  The LD'ers don't all want to just go home as a matter of fact the above is a group of LD'ers and they usually are the last group to leave the camp site on Sunday.  I believe this group also tries to let ride management and the vets know just how much they are loved and appreciated. This team has recently been joined up by another team, Team Chunky Monkey, with the same feelings.  A recommendation to all who attend a ride, take time and enjoy every minute of it, life is to short to not do this.

I have to agree with Angie.  I can remember when whole groups of people, club
members, etc. would save places and sit together and yell and cheer for our
friends when they got their award.  Now the dinners are not all at one time. 
It sort of starts early before the ride is even over and then everyone eats on
the fly at different times, depending on when they finish.  The LD riders just
want to go home.  I asked one lady who wanted to leave at 4:00 what a
difference 2 hours would make and she really let me have it about how tired she was
and had to get home, etc......I wondered if she thought the ride management was
not tired at all because after all they had not ridden 25 or 50
miles.....rofl..........mb
