[Bent] Bent Digest, Vol 41, Issue 10

Wed Apr 22 14:25:55 EDT 2009

FYI, I turned the website over to Joao well over a year ago. I don't  
think he did much of anything with it. I asked him to strip my name  
and email off of it, but I still get queries from time to time, which  
I just refer to the mailing list.

I'm inactive with the group mostly because every ride involves way too  
much driving. I'm no longer willing to travel huge distances to do  
stuff I can do out my back door.  Round Valley is 120 miles...one way.  
These days, that's pretty much the only ride that gets run.

Dick once said it very eloquently...for a group to thrive, it needs a  
spark plug. Without that it's just a few of the usual suspects hanging  
out together, doing the same old thing. Nothing wrong with that, but  
from the outside things appear to have come to a halt.

Hopefully one of the new folks will provide some energy and input.  
Remember the old, tired mantra...you want something to happen, step up  
and make happen.
