Yeah I’m just trying to figure out how groups say they are there for all but seem to only be for a few. Heck I post a open invite when I go out after the groups cancel just let let people know that someone is going on a ride. Some groups even have a minimum ride with the group but then cancel the rides that aren’t for the hardcore guys. My truck is a daily drive and a few upgrades so I don’t do the hardcore stuff.
Unfortunately this is the way that most people feel when they are just starting, but especially right now with fuel up, cost of living up, etc. I had a hard time getting into a group that was solid you can trust and frankly even wanted to be around when you went riding, and that wouldnt leave you stranded or just berate you when you broke. I hate that you see it like we are a group for a few because I got into this club through a FS ride probly close to 10 years ago, otherwise I wouldnt have just shown up at a park trying to find folks to ride with. Also, you gotta realize the "few" are the ones that have been wheeling for literally decades and have as much in our rigs and tow pigs as we do in our houses in some cases. To us, if we dont make rides happen its a waste of time and money.
@Trailabite Did you put this on FB or just didnt because we supposedly didnt get traffic from the last FS ride? I was there and we had several rigs show up that werent checked in at all and that was fine, we rode all day and ended up having a good time.
If it gets folks involved and thats what it takes then post it and Ill change plans and run it, just dont expect the leaves to be perfect by any means, itll just be a ride. Hell, we might even make it an overnighter if enough are interested, that was discussed after the last FS ride. We might even end up at a waterfall or two along the way. STAFF--
