We had a ball, 'playing' host to all the VRCC - what a club !!!
Yes, the weather WAS terrific - couldn't have planned it better. Yes - Shanty Creek WAS a phenomenal 'ground zero', and the folks there couldn't have been better or more accomodating to us. Yes - many gorgeous rides, lots of trees, water, rolling hills - just beautiful. Yes - lots of activities, of all sorts. Yes - the Villiage of Bellaire treated us like royalty. Yes - we had a great & worthy cause in Camp Quality, and so proud of all our brothers & sisters in the VRCC who helped make that $7,000 a reality.
BUT - I've said this many times before - goes right back to all the fine folks within the club. Because of this club, and all our 'riding buddies', we have friends in dozens of states and Canada. That is so cool to arrive, and start seeing friends that maybe you haven't had the chance to see in awhile, and then to go out and create NEW FRIENDS again !!! Spending time together, eating a meal somewhere, sharing a drink or two, or just floating in the pool - now THIS is what a riding club is all about.
If you couldn't be there, hey - that happens - work, vacations, other commitments - sometimes get it the way. But if you just 'didn't come', you really don't know what you're missing. Start getting to your own local events, enjoy those. Then start coming to some bigger area-wide events ... enjoy the people there. You'll be surprised at the quality of the folks involved.
If it comes back to Michigan - we will do all we can to make it even better. If it goes elsewhere for a year or 2, that is just fine as well - then we can ride to THAT event. But we WILL BE THERE !!!!!
