I like the 10:30 to 11:00 start time for the day group ride on Saturday and as Jim said 30 machines at night is a bit much the ride gets lost in the translation. There is very little to video in the dark except the occasional "did you see that" item. Saturdays are when all are on site and wanting to ride with each other. With at least one structured ride I think it would fit what we are looking for as far as the group ride. Fridays we can still use the same tactic for a ride or two. A little structure is good. The board could be used for many things to help make the event more fun for all. I think one thing that I miss was in the evening all the (guys and ladies) would sit down with something that they prepared and we all ate together and fellowshipped. Will this work now, don't know with such a large group, but it sure was fun. I know you members that travel very far want to get as much stick time on the trails as possible with a balance of fellowshipping with the members= Putting names to faces is always nice. I look forward to each ride with the group and come away with NEW great memories for the scrap book.
Just my 2 pennies.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"
