Re: [RC] Completion Awards - cschiroGosh, now I feel bad. I volunteered at a ride for the first time to get some more hands-on experience with endurance rides before I actually compete. They gave me a shirt (they gave t-shirts to everyone, including volunteers, so it wasn't a "completion" award) that I wear alot. But I guess people that see me wearing it who didn't go to that particular ride might assume I completed the ride. So maybe next time I wear it I should first take a permanent marker and write on the back of it(I'll have more room that way): "I didn't win this ride, I didn't complete this ride, I didn't even RIDE this ride...I just enjoyed it."

I told her outright that she didn't have any right to be wearing that shirt because she had not earned it. That is honestly how I feel. It is just my opinion that the mentality of giving a ride shirt (bag, sponge, mug, etc. . .) to anyone who shows up only adds to the ever-growing mentality of some riders that the ride owes you something other than a place to come and enjoy the sport.
