felt1 speaks the truth. Organizing a ride is harder than it seems, especially ones with over 20 people in them.
In January Joy organized a charity ride, collected donations, and drove SAG. She also organized non-ride event that required obtaining tickets and collecting money.
Mary organized a lot of rides, and she also organized a get together for Adam (awiner) when he got his cast off.
All of these events were publicly posted here, so that people could see that we did get together and meet, have fun and whatnot. Everyone was welcome.
