Hello Ride Managers!

First... to any and all who take on this awesome task, thanks
from those of us who get to ride! Really Ride!

Remember when we were discussing ideas for things to do that
make a ride easier and more enjoyable for the participants? Well...
after this last weekend, I came up with one.

I have only done 3 rides so far and all 3 of them requested that
we clean up and muck out our camps before leaving. A reasonable
request! At *2* of these rides we were provided with a large
dumpster to put our full complementory plastic bags in... also
very reasonable. The problem: Those dumpsters were 6... SIX...
feet high! ...and we all know how heavy a bag full of fresh *wet*
road apples is. Ever try to lift a heavy bag of horse doo-doo over
your head and into a 6 foot dumpster? Ever stood there struggling
to get this thing over the top and then wonder what would happen
if the bag broke?

PLEASE... we don't mind cleaning up camp. Really! Those
dumpsters come in 3 or 4 foot heights too. 6 feet is too high and
it's happened twice now.

Thanks!

plastic garbage bags in 24 hours than an Arab can. (brag-brag)
