[RC] Rudeness - Sheila_LarsenNot only are people rude at the awards ceremony, but during the ride briefing. They talk while the RM is trying to describe the trail and then frequently they are the ones asking the RM specific questions that were answered during the briefing but either they were talking or people were talking so loudly they couldn't hear. My favorite is the barking dog while the RM is talking. Although I have no scientific evidence I believe it probably the people who have ridden the ride previously and know the trail are the ones talking.. Of course I love RM who describe the trail as though people know the trail. When they say, "you know when you get to the fork in the road down the trail where last year we turned left but the year before we turned right, this time we go straight" and someone says "oh the fork by the eucalyptus tree" and the RM says " oh no you remember it is the fork by the oak tree" and you who have no idea what they are talking about because you have never ridden the trail just pray for good markings. LOLOLOL. But RMs- we love you anyway. So let's all try and remember our manners, so our mothers would be proud of us.
