Whoa, let's not turn this into a political discussion. The guy is a Canadian. Let's just recognize that there are lots of people in other countries who don't like our government right now, and leave it at that.

My post was not meant as a reference to politics or Bush/Cheney, if you read his entire post its pretty obvious he strongly disliked everything about Texas and the Cleburne area.

It just seemed so different from what my opinion of him was, oh well

interesting. I'd think RAO would be a much toughter RAAM qual than the TTTT, but I'm obviously wrong. I'm still going to attempt the RAAM qual. at Sebring this spring. Hopefully I can get the weight down and the fitness level up a bit.

Anyone else wanna go and try it?

I'll make sure the organizers of RAAM have plenty of puke bags waiting for ya.....and sand! Grin

This is my "behind the ride" report. It doesn't matter if you don't ride, get out there and volunteer! It's a blast being able to support our fellow RBENT'rs as they give it their all. Duties can be quite varied, which is good. I did 10 hours on Friday starting at 5 AM. First job was to keep the fire burning in the fireplace. Then went with Kalleen in the TTTT Pace car to lead out the 36 hour group. Came in from that and Dan Driscoll had me empty the water from all the ice chests and replenish them with fresh ice. I kept the igloo coolers full of ice water all day so all the riders had plenty to fill their water bottles. Grabbed a broom and swept the pavilion and the front of the church throughout the day. Went out on the course and checked on riders. There was plenty of time to check on RBENT folks as they made their laps. I'll ride next year, but I'm still going to volunteer some because all the riders really do appreciate it based on the comments I received. DJ

I do have to point out your best duty of the weekend... At the award banquet you were so eloquently standing by the food, keeping the flies away. My arms hurt just watching you. Plus, you did it with the biggest smile on your face I've ever seen!

DJ & all the volunteers were amazing & the event could NOT go on without you. Thanks you for all of your support. You need to ride next year. You could easily find a category & smoke it.

Dn, I'm glad you enjoyed our exploits. We all had fun, and pushed ourselves to a goal, which was the most important thing to us all, I think.
