Where is everyone?

[Jvs]

Group ride leaders are just hard to find, I'd say.
It takes a lot of work, and it is very often thankless (even open to criticizing).

So many people ask me at bike nights and events, "oh so you must like leading routes doing rides huh?" well no not really, but if I don't lead no one else will. lol

It kinda sucks because there are so many people that know great routes and rides but just don't wanna step up and lead or are too busy to get out. The few rides I've done with other people leading this year (TK's ride a weekend or two ago to get taco pizza and TWISTAR and a few other's here and there) were great rides and we had a lot of fun riding some new roads. I wish we could do more.

And then you get certain people like Guzzi john who leads routes during random times of the week day when the rest of the world is at work and doing all that nonsense.
