[RC] Moab Canyons Ride - Debbie Ekhaml

Hi Ridecampers,

 Managing a ride is an exhausting, moneyless, and often thankless task so I 
feel that when a ride manager goes so far above and beyond putting on an 
incredible ride, it should be duly noted.
  The Moab Canyons ride was incredible down to every last detail.  It had all 
the great stuff-well marked trails, ample water, unbelieveable scenery, 
EXCELLENT volunteers/vets, delicious food (and the volunteer prepared 
sandwiches/lunches provided for ALL (crews too) at the out VC's were 
mouthwatering).  The comraderie and helpful attitudes of riders and workers 
alike was indicative of what makes our sport so great.  Ride Manager, Sherri 
Griffith even went so far as to place buckets in all camp troughs for us to 
fill our dirty ones with and even after 120+ riders and 3 days, the troughs 
stayed clean!  She also provided all with Halloween candy so the kids in camp 
could go around to campers (with lights on) to Trick or Treat.  Many, many 
riders dressed up in Halloween costumes for the ride dinner and they were all 
great!  2 nights of Bonfires after dinner were fun for socializing.  
  Now here is the amazing part; what I did not know was that Sherri fought 
breast cancer last year.  She still managed not only to put on this ride, but 
came up with 6 different loops so trails were not repeated in entirety.  Then 
she donated the proceeds of this ride to breast cancer research (I think it was 
maybe to a hospital that specializes in it).  I feel all people willing to 
undertake putting on a ride should be on a pedestal, but Sherri deserves to be 
on the top step!
 Anyone looking for an exceptional, top notch Pioneer at the end of next 
season, this one is worth the travel.  Thanks for a wonderful weekend, Sherri!
