hi If Peter thinks that all you need to be a tour leader is some group riding skills and the ability to admit that your map reading skills aren't perfect, he is addressing a problem. I find at the rides maps are given out to someone who can read the map and have a general idea of were we are going but have no or very little skill in how to keep and maintain the control of a group. I am the first to admit it isn't easy controlling a group especially when you have a few riders who jump to the front of the group and set the pace and even when told repeatly that they are going to face slow down for about a minuite and then slowly start to increase the pace again. Most of the time the tour leader shruggs his shoulders and does nothing.
Maybe we should publish in the monthly news letter what is expected of the tour leader, and how they can control a group and keep them together. This could help us have "great" rides instead of , " well huh I had a good ride" or "well it was a okay ride". sign KR _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------------------------- For list help, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ------------------------------------------------- ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
