Title: A huge step foward Post by: Da_Mtg_Man on January 23, 2005, 03:12:50 PM I posted this in a different thread but thought I'd give it it's own thread.
I first want to say thank you to everyone on this site. We all had a fabulous time this weekend. I enjoyed meeting eveyone of you and to the ones that I didn't get to shake hands with then I'll catch you on the next ride. I got feedback from the authorites in Ocala that they were VERY impressed with how organized, respectful and well behaved that 275 people could be. My hats off to everyone from this site.We all showed that we're not a bunch of misfits. A few of us met a ranger on Friday by the name of Marla Pence. Marla was the most pleasant ranger that I have ever met. She's known about our group ride for some time now and met us at our riding spot off of 314 to explain to us the rules and regulations. I will be in close contact with Marla on future group rides. We also had a brief conversation about organizing a clean up ride. Thanks again to everyone for showing up and helping me to have one of the best weekends I've ever had.

We have to hit those trails again. Set up the clean up ride and I will drive up to help. Title: Re: A huge step foward Post by: dreth on January 23, 2005, 05:50:19 PM im in for a clean up ride also

The more the merrier on the cleanup. I'll know more after talking with the rangers. Title: Re: A huge step foward Post by: big-daddy on January 23, 2005, 06:42:55 PM after the clean up we can ride

Title: Re: A huge step foward Post by: Moose on January 24, 2005, 06:42:46 AM Count me in for this cleanup ride also, sounds like a great idea. This we might want the press, like other cleanup efforts, they show how much they gathered and the total weight of it all. Maybe the county could drop off some dumpsters to deposit it in.
Title: Re: A huge step foward Post by: jbbj220 on January 24, 2005, 10:59:38 AM I want in for the clean up ride. Good idea. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
