RE: [RC] New Riders - j marshallI am a New Rider. I think the educational part of the AERC does need a lot more development. I don't know if making more rules is the answer but something is and some experimenting and brainstorming is in order. So we need to work together and instead of bashing offer New Ideas and alternatives. As unwanted as change maybe change is what will make the AERC better and yes it will be though trial and error to find the most beneficial changes. Now with that my Idea is to make being part of a Newbie group voluntary and to have certification to be a mentor not necessarily testing to be a mentor but more about the mentors ride history. also I think the Idea about giving mentor rider for a race a break in entry fees or have the newbie that wishes to ride with the mentor pay that half of the fee for the mentor, but limiting that mentor to one rider. I am just looking for more ways that the newbies who WANT help can get it. I know I would be happy to participate as a guinea pig for any new Ideas that will better the AERC. HAve a great day!
