Re: [RC] first time riders becoming 2nd time riders - Trailrite
I had something like this when my kids all turned into the teenage
years. We had a cuss pot, anyone that cussed put in a quarter, except the
F word, that was a dollar. It was funny, I think I ended up putting in
more money than my kids!
Once a year we'd cash in the pot and do some sort of family thing
together. It worked good and you find a lot out about yourself too.
I used to bring discount coupons to RM's for 1st time riders to the
rides I would vend at, but I don't know if it caught on or not. Not
many coupons came back to us so maybe there wasn't that many 1st time
riders, or maybe the RM forgot to hand them out or didn't know who to hand them
out to, or maybe we didn't have anything for sale that they wanted.

could have a jar and each rider that complains, has to put in a dollar.

riders becoming 2nd time riders
Our NATRC region has a first time rider
fund, that after a rider does his or her first ride, they get a certificate
for another ride in the region, for I believe 1/2 off of the entry, to
encourage them to come back again, and do another ride. This is something our
region has come up with, not on a national basis, and we get the funding from
one of the rides that donates in to the fund, and by private individuals I
think. (a tad unclear on exact details) But the point is, we look to get
riders back that second time. Many riders try distance riding as a whim, and
may not be really serious about taking the sport up. Thus, we see many riders
who do one ride, and that is it.
A ride manager can indeed, offer 1/2
off or some other discount to first time riders, but they will either have to
go one the honor system, or look up each riders name in the data base, to see
if they are listed from a previous ride. But it is the ride managers choice
what to charge. Personally, I would like to see a tax for riders who
whine and complain too much to management
