I talked to another rider at a ride a couple weeks ago and this guy told me all about Matt's "track record" with money, bills and entries. Too bad this kind of information wasn't made public so other people could be warned. Normally taking personal issues public, like on RideCamp, is not too keen but in this case I have no hesitation using his name and making it public. In fact, in one of my previous emails to Matt I politely implied that I would post to RideCamp as I didn't know if he was even around, or had moved or something, as he no longer replied to my emails.
You both need to lodge a complaint with AERC. I will not go into detail about the Madeiros' track record, but I am not surprised. If everyone took Matt to small claims court then maybe Matt would get the message. Hopefully AERC has the power to suspend him as a ride manager. The other alternative is for all of us to boycott his ride.
