Some thoughts from the 4/1/06 FCT ride

[akram]

Well I had fun. Even though I shoveled more snow in one day than I did all winter. I tried to help out as much as possible, I know I slacked everynow and then but I was getting tired. I did notice some people not putting in their share of the wrokload. Big rigs in back I agree on. I think I would have made it but oh well. Can only speculate at this point.

Also I think after a few of times of trying to get up the hill the maybe it should be called. I know people want to prove their rig and their capabilities but hey after 20-30 min give it up. Sorry if that hurts anybody. I got stuck mostly getting others unstuck.

I made it clear when I was backing up I needed a spotter due to m little mirrors. And I got them. That was great knowing I could count on people to help me. Kelly I don't have your strap or dring.
I doubled, tripled checked.

but there were 13 rigs that were proposed, which I think is a bit too many...

Do we need to set a limit on the amout of vehicles going on rides? Or maybe say ok if this many we do two groups like we did at 55mi? Personally I would hate to tell someone you can't come because there are too many people. I know there are many reasons for this, and I do agree to a point. Maybe the trailboss can make the decision when we line up, Say "OK guys we have a lot of rigs so we are going to split up". then he can separate the rigs accordingly.

Just thoughts coming from my sleep deprived head.
