12 hours* but I know what you're saying. We're also tying to get the other community riders in with us too so we have more people. I feel that if people are willing to put some effort, we'll be able to really improve our public image. From what I understand, the SCF looks carefully at volunteer work when doling out money. I know we do bike related volunteer work, but a lot of the community at large does not see that. If we start participating in other areas, we'll look a lot better and get more funding. If you want to pay less to travel with the team or you'd like to see more cool stuff happen with the club, we need you to help. I'll also add a "Please" here. I <3 you guys and I'd like to have fun with you.
