RE: [RC] Cranberry - Finish Line - Libby & Quentin Llop DVMIn my experience you are much more likely to find no one there when you finish first than when you finish last and Wolverine 100 is a case in point. When I finished ride management was still out crewing and I wandered around looking for any sign of life before they pulled in and the vet woke up. I got my first turtle two weeks ago and there were two vets and two timers waiting at the finish line for which I am very grateful. I feel really bad about getting lost and keeping them up until 3 am. Libby P.S I don't mind at all - about there being no one there. -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ridecamp Guest Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 2:58 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] Cranberry - Finish Line Please Reply to: Rob Losey jrlosey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== "I would hate someone at a ride I manage to feel so let down as we felt when we arrived to an empty base camp." I use to think it was sad when a lot of people finish a 100, that most people have gone to bed already. I understand it, they're thinking about their ride the next day. Then I was told something, I think it was Marirose Six that said it;" When you finish, the most important one is always there. Just look under your saddle." When the riders came in at the Wolverine 100, at about 2:00 AM, I was there at the finish line to welcome them in, even though I was going to ride the next morning. Some of them thanked me for staying up. I have always felt bad about getting credit for that. You see, I went to bed early. But when your old you have to get up a few times at night and water a tree. That's what I was doing when I heard the riders. Rob and Annabelle =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
