Ride Reports

[Brad]

How true Serge that what is put in words never equals a conversation on the phone or even better on that is face to face. Many an email I have sent at work as come back misunderstood which as never my intention. In learning the lesson the hard way I have come to believe that if your words are not very precise in that they can stand the test of time for interpretation NO MATTER how they are read then guess what pick up the phone!

It is dissapointing to think people get upset about a few words written on here.

Ride leaders can organise what ever type of ride they like from easy cruisey social rides to very demanding rides. That is the good thing about the club, it is about having fun, no matter what type of ride suites your own personal ideas of the type of ride you enjoy. Riders have the choice to go on the ride or not. If someone takes the time to organise a ride for others then no-one should complain. If it was too hard for you then at least you probably learnt something from the ride even though you did not think so at the time, besides, how do you improve your skills if you do not challenge yourself.
If someone puts on an experiences level ride and you thought it should be level 2 or vice versa does it really matter, there are more important things in life to worry about.

I am old enough to  not care about what people say about me, my riding ability or most other things. If you are enjoying what you are doing then who cares what others think. may be others should also try thinking like that, it makes life much less stressful.

People join AMTRA to meet other riders and have fun on rides, that is all that is important.

I am enjoying being a club member at present, there has been no conflict from members for some time and we have a large number of members putting on a big variety of rides. AMTRA is running very well with the mix of personalities we have. Just remember to not get bugged by some possibly mis-understood words written on the web.

May be I have rambled on a bit but guess what, I dont care.

Have a good Christmas break if you are lucky enough to have some time off and remember the first club meeting for  2011 is Australia day so even if you go riding that day we expect to see you at the club meeting!
