RE: [RC] good rides ever organized by amateurs? - heidi

Is it possible for an amateur to organize a successful ride?  I'm 
curious because I suddenly have access to a large private property that 
would be perfect for a hundred-mile ride, possibly even a single loop 
100-miler.  I can't really imagine pulling it off myself, but perhaps 
there's an experienced someone in Southern Washington or central Oregon 
who would be interested in adding a ride to the region's calendar.  
Thoughts?


Yep, most AERC rides are put on by "amateurs."  One does gain some
experience over the years that makes it easier, but every RM took the
plunge at some point and tackled their first one.  

I'd suggest asking NW regional sanctioning director Gail Williams to
link you up with an RM in your area to help "mentor" you in your first
attempt, and then go for it!  You'll feel a bit overwhelmed and
exhausted after your first effort, just like your first time riding
one--but it is a lot of fun.
