The NACMO season is off to a slow start this year.
I was planning to host a ride in the pines in February, but my permit was delayed. It turned out for the best because we got a massive ice storm on that date.
Sandy was also planning to host her Spring Shenanigans ride, but it never happened.
Unfortunately, it's not likely that things will improve. Dodie is retiring and moving south. While I am toying with the idea of taking over as the regional director in her stead, I'm not sure I actually have room on my plate for anything else right now. I worry that without Dodie, the sport will die in our region.
With that said, we did have the first ride of the year at Dodie's annual Awards Ride at Leaser Lake.
