Don't kid yourself. I've been there during the
ride before the judging for the Best Buns Award. That "shyness"
is just a big act. The competition is fierce. I remember
when Gary wanted to beat Ernie (the "favorite") so much he
was planning to have music at the last vet check so he could get in
some dance moves and better show off to the volunteers! :-)
At our past Bear Valley rides, they have always given out
the "Golden Buns Award," the best male rider buns.
It was voted on by all the women volunteers. Judging by the red faces of
the winners, they didn't seen as excited as winning it as the volunteers were
judging it!
