Keep in mind that this is coming from someone that doesn't really take anything seriously, but man, you guys are taking this way too seriously.
I agree and have watched for the past few days waiting to see if it will settle back down.
I know I am a member but not a founding father. So feel free to ignore my thoughts.
First, I’ll credit OOS for getting me into riding with others. Before I decided to join I had done maybe 1-2 group rides. Now I’m kind of a regular. The introduction of needing to lead 1 or 2 rides is no biggie and helps keep it going and pay it forward. I’d do more if that will help.
I think the Strava club is where there was a turning point. Don’t know why, but it got bigger and bigger and now seems like the “talk” is so formal and people are feeling like there is an administrative burden. How about we kill Strava club and just post rides here?
Any ride I can make, if I know the park, I’ll help “lead”. I’m happy to be on a list of people in a rotation. Maybe we don’t need 50 people in the rotation, just 20 willing souls. If that works consider me “on the list”.
Anyway, I hope I will see some of you at Sterling w Frank and then Wawayanda w me, after that.
