I’m Not Going

I’m not going to the ACTHA ride this weekend.










But only because it has been rescheduled due to the weather! They have now moved it to the 29th of January. They need two safety riders so I asked DH and MIL if they wanted to be the safety riders. To my surprise DH said yes. I think MIL will too but she’s still debating. She wants to make sure there are no liability issues since she is a RN.

What is a safety rider you might ask? Well one takes up the lead to show the contestants where the trail is and the other one brings up the rear to tell the judges when they are finished. They both carry 1st aid kits and a cell phone so they can call 911 if necessary. I joked and told DH he would have to bring up the rear because there was no way Bell was going to lead that pack.

Originally there were 13 or 14 signed up for the ride so it will be interesting to see how that changes due to the change in the day. So far there is only 1 signed up (and no, it isn’t me - yet).

It's nice you have more time to mull over your decision.
