RE: [RC] [RC] What's your occupation? - Juli Jakub

I am a librarian at a private school and a dorm parent in the girl's dorm. I make no money really...but I do get my summers completely off as well as big cushy vacations ranging from a week for Thanksgiving to three weeks for Spring break. I have not ridden endurance yet, but due to my job will only be able to attend rides during those vacation times. When I am on...it is 110% of the time and you have to be dying to get a day off!

Hi Ridecampers

I'm curious as to what you all do for a living that allows you to take so
much time off from work to compete.

Back in England I was a retail manager and I had to work saturdays (no
choice as it was our busiest day) so if I was in the same position now there
is now way I could go to rides. EnduranceGB had one ride on a saturday all
the rest of the ride calendar was on sunday's so I could only go to rides
that were no more than 2hrs away as we had to travel to and from the ride,
do the ride and come home the same day.

We also had to have a crew for 40 miles and over. If you were found in
breach of this you were dq'd so it was hard finding friends willing to give
up time to crew.

I cannot wait till spring to start competing here as it is so much more
relaxed and not having to worry whether I'll have a crew. Also we had to
have our entries in 2 wks before the ride. No turning up the day of the ride
so commitment from crew was essential.

Wishing spring was here now

Jane
