Last MV RAA had events that never should have happened.
Several people there for the first time, were left behind at a fuel stop. By the time they found their way back, they rightfully had some resentments.
As a ride Captain I made some mistakes.
A simple mistake from a passenger, caused some delays.
Last minute changes, while riding, split a few riders from the group.
Pulling out from a stop, some riders don't know if they should go or give way to the rider waiting to roll.
These are just a few of many that can turn a fun ride into resentment and confusion.
Most of these rules were established by others before me and they work.
In general, if your not going to get lost and someone else in the group knows the way. Any rider is welcome to split off from the group. Just let someone know so the head count doesn't turn into confusion.
