Some thoughts from the 4/1/06 FCT ride

[akram]

I totally agree on setting requirements for rides. When Ryan posted up about 55 mile I just wanted to clarify he meant front and rear lockers not just one. It doesn't bother me not to go. I would love to ride along with someone and watch the big boys and Kelly hit the trail. And the other non big boys that meet the requirements. If you say hey everyone come along then you sit there all day watching people go back and forth trying to make it but in all reality they can't. I know I've done it in the past in other places and that is how I learned not to do it. You have to know when to say when. You have to know the limits of your rig. Some maybe haven't got to find that out fully. I hate excluding people from things that is why I hate to set up a run and it need requirements beyond the club rules. That is why I have shied away from clubs in the past. But I know it has to be done. I thought long and hard before even joining this one.

I just want to wheel. So anytime someone wants to go out and I'm off and meet requirements I'm down. I will help you if youg et stuck or break or whatever and hope you will do the same. I say if all the guys that can't make the 55 mile run want to out setup a run for somewhere you can so it gets more of the club involved. Just a thought. I still want to ride with someone on 55 mi.

Now with all that said. Lets all have fun and wheel.
