It wasn't pathetic if it inspires you to take the reins and organize it next year. Even if the same group wants to do it next year, there's nothing stopping you from organizing another ride. This was ScottStr's first year doing the one here, and it was more successful, I think, than any of us hoped. Good luck with next year's ride. I bet if you PM ScottStr, he might be able to give some tips on how to organize it.
