I for one get sick of people pulling out before the
awards ceremony. This is the time where we chat, listen to stories, catch
up with other riders.. etc. Its called COURTESY, something that so many
people lack today. For one thing, even though I've been riding going to
rides for over 5 years, I am STILL excited to get my ribbon, or T-shirt, or
Turtle.. and if we all take off who is going to cheer on our junior
riders? and our newbies? We should be supporting each other, not
turning up our noses. Even the ride I got pulled at I stayed for the
awards, and cheered for everyone else. Its called being a good
sport..
