No, it is not the AERC that needs to do anything. It's supply and 
demand. If you offer a ride and people don't show up - you don't offer 
it any longer. If the riders want more rides, they damn well better go 
ride the ones that are available. If they do that the ride managers will 
respond.

We've seen 100-mile rides disappear because riders didn't support them. 
So if you want more 100-mile rides, prove it by going and riding the 
ones available.
