[RC] Greedy ride managers - Sharon Levasseur

Yep, that's why I'm starting up a new ride this year with the expectation of
paying out of my own pocket to make up the expenses.  That's why I'm becoming a
ride manager with only two competitive seasons under my belt.

Yep, it's because I'm greedy... it has nothing to do with love of the sport and
the desire to create more opportunities for us all to enjoy it.

Well I think you are absolutely wrong in your statement above.  I apologiize
for his remarks to all the Ride Managers out there who give us a place to
enjoy our sport.
