- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Hey everybody. I just wanted to share my thoughts about this weekend. Pictures are slowly coming in on the other threads. But there's more than just photos.
This weekend was awesome. But it wasn't the weather or the camping or the wheeling that had the most influence on making it an awesome event. It was the people. We have a really great group of people here. All the teamwork and camaraderie that we see in this forum was demonstrated face to face at Southington. People sharing what they had, cooperating, helping each other on the trails and in the camping area, sharing stories and connecting is what this group is all about. I know there are others who wanted to be there and would have been participating in the same ways. We have a great group here at TRS.
Y'all are my friends. You have been since I joined a few years ago. These friendships were solidified through our face to face interaction s this weekend. We couldn't ask for a better group of forum members. I'm proud to be among you.
Special thanks to AgPete for riding with me, spotting for me and even helping out with my camera by taking pictures when I was preoccupied with driving and trying to keep us unhurt. Jim, JohnnyO and Micah ( forgot Micah's username) also helped me a lot with spotting and problem solving when I got stuck on top of some hard places. I must publicly acknowledge Micah's help when he used his er, umm, "Jeep" to pull me off the rocks that were threatening my driveshaft.
I learn a lot from you folks here on the forum. I also learned a lot from you on the trails this weekend. This was an invaluable learning experience for me.
(Edit)
Also, many thanks to Jim for coordinating this event and hosting our website. He is a great man for the job.
Thanks again, to all of you.
By the way. Jim is threatening to change my username in the near future. So watch out for that. I'll wear the new name with honor if he does it.
