Are ya'll serious? I mean it. You are putting in your wish lists
for awards like you are registering at Macy's or Dillard's. Shame on
you.
A ride manager asked, to help in choosing awards. What help would it
have been if no one answered?
How many have shown up early to flag trails, chalk lines and
replace signs that motorcyclists and paint ball bean heads have
stripped.
I have a time or two, at rides close enough to home that I got there
early enough (or rides so far away that I got there a day early). I
have often helped clear and mark trails prior to a ride, for rides
close enough to home to do that with a day trip.
How many have help set up registeration packets, making sure
maps, dinner tickets, vet cards are in them.
This one I haven't, but most RM's do that in advance anyway.
How many of ya'll have gotten off your pathic pity party butts
to help check pulses, vet cards when you are pulled or RO?
I have, many times.
And How many of you have stayed a little longer on Sunday
morning to help clean up cups, paper plates, horse crap, dog poop.
A few times. Mostly I make sure that I leave my own area clean. When
I pull out I only go a couple of hundred feet, then walk back and make
a final check.
And my least favorite, HOW MANY OF YOU TELL the ride manager
THANK YOU???? Shameful, Shameful
