Rager Up For Grabs !

[GDFL]

let's just set a date, and who ever wants to come can come no need to make it organized and formal make it like the lanier rides from back in the day like harrison said. show up and ride if you want on this date, if you don't no big deal.

This would be a perfect opportunity to experiment with a less organized ride under today's popularity and attendance levels. All of the rides these days are pretty well thought out and are awesome, but why not see where this thing goes as an unorganized/organized ride?

would it be better to deorganize and still have a ride or to just let it die and not have a ride........

Why does it have to come "keep it deorganized" or "let it die"?

I don't see why we can't let someone who actually wants to take the reigns and organize this event to do so.:dunno:

i think what he met was that if you took out the interested parties. would it be better to just have a bunch of friends riding and call it the rager. or just it die because it has to be an organized event

Absoutely..... I totally agree. These rides are time consuming and believe it or not costs the organizers $$$$ out of their pockets..... If you don't have the time or money - you most certainly should see if someone else can handle the organizing and still keep the ride what it was always meant to be.....Friends getting together all over the country to enjoy each other, enjoy the sport they love and ride!!!!:Banane01:

Of course.....I am assuming this is being done in the spirit of the ride and for all the right reasons......:biggthumpup:

Thank you Kathy....
I am still alot pissed about things that happend on this site..
This season, I will be taking a step back, so I dont give up.
I think that differences aside, and problems aside. Mark at full throttle
will give the rager the most attention if allowed to plan rager....
I dont have time... alot of people here said they would help ! thank you.
But to have a great event like we have been doing, it needs the attention.
I have had diferences with Mark... But I think he will give rager the most
attention... Lets put aside our differences.

Maybe I am wrong here... but alot of people dont have time or money,
and others do and are not allowed ?
For the riders by the riders ?

 

[douglee25]

I have an idea....

One of two suggestions....

1. Do what Harrison suggested and just meet up on a scheduled day and call it the 'Rager'.

2. Or we collectively make a list of items that need to be done in order for the event to be more organized. We each take one or two items and this way it won't be a huge burden on just Pete.

I am more than willing to help out.

Thoughts?

Oh well I completely agree. If we can't find someone to organize the event then there should at least be a grassroots unorganized ride. It's better than nothing, but like I said if we can find someone who actually wants to organize the event I feel we are far better off letting them take the reigns.:biggthumpup:

Very well put.:biggthumpup:

I think that anyone who wants to either organize or unorganize the rager should be able to. No one has title on it. So if someone wants to step up to the job and set a date thats great. Just because we are not doing the rager this year does not mean we dont want it to happen or for people to not come out and ride. This should be something fun for everyone. Its not about who does what or who likes who. I thought it was about riding and having a good time.

Does all this feedback mean southerners might actually get themselves a wetsuit and show up for a change?? :Banane26:

Fwiw, 'show up and ride' is great but at the very least, Pete's support for the past two years in establishing a hang-out spot, a hotel, and working with city officials has been invaluable. All the promoting, shwag, and other stuff have been major perks to increase the participation!

indeed it has and the show up and ride attitude is what makes this sport great

it seems that all we really need is a group rate on a hotel and a place to unwind at night. that should be easy enough for a couple of members on here to work out. enough of us live with in an hour of seaside as it is

What are you talking about? We already have wetsuits. What do you think we do when the water temps "plummet" into the 70's.:cat40: :bigeyes: :cool2: :biggrin:

Both Paul and I think that is a wonderful idea!..... Whatever it takes to keep a freeride alive and well! :cheer: :cheer:

I have no idea what you mean with "Not Allowed" - I didn't see that written anywhere in this thread...... WE just hate that you won't be organizing it since you have done such a superb job in the past! But noone knows better than us - what a job and an expense it is to organize these events...... I am sure it will continue to be a success with whomever steps up to the plate!!! Let us know if we can do anything to help! :Banane01:

Awesome.... Super cool, and thank you for all your help with all the freerides...

I am going to ask that Mark be allowed to post and do this...
He is willing to put in the time and money, and is ready to help !
He wants to do a good job ! and make good for all at the X !
Can admins let him join the boards.

like it has been said set a date. one person finds a hotel(hershey), another finds a place to eat (hooks), another person gets the fire department on board. there doesn't have to be thousands of dollars in free stuff given away to make it fun.

organized or not people will show up to ride if theres a date.
