I hear a lot of what in my grumpier moments I might call "complaints" that the OBC doesn't cater aggressively enough to slower riders.

The volunteers in the club put in a pretty good effort, I think, and they can't do everything. >From what I've seen, we are pretty open to offering assistance to others who may lack >experience in starting new programs. If you want it, you may have to pitch in to make it happen. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 9:22 AM Subject: [obc] Just aThough] > > > Hasanyone heard on the news today just how unfit > many kids are these days. > > I have often thought how great it would be to have the > occassional family ride.
