I like MARS as is and would not change anything.<br><br>OP<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Andrew Douglas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adouglas@optonline.net">adouglas@optonline.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">FYI, I turned the website over to Joao well over a year ago. I don't<br>
think he did much of anything with it. I asked him to strip my name<br>
and email off of it, but I still get queries from time to time, which<br>
I just refer to the mailing list.<br>
<br>
I'm inactive with the group mostly because every ride involves way too<br>
much driving. I'm no longer willing to travel huge distances to do<br>
stuff I can do out my back door. Round Valley is 120 miles...one way.<br>
These days, that's pretty much the only ride that gets run.<br>
<br>
Dick once said it very eloquently...for a group to thrive, it needs a<br>
spark plug. Without that it's just a few of the usual suspects hanging<br>
out together, doing the same old thing. Nothing wrong with that, but<br>
from the outside things appear to have come to a halt.<br>
<br>
Hopefully one of the new folks will provide some energy and input.<br>
Remember the old, tired mantra...you want something to happen, step up<br>
and make happen.<br>
