This is the day where we all join as a global choir to thank the Ridemaster for all that he does, the San Diego weather, going to the rides 2 hours early to clean the trails and do reconnaissance for mountain lions and inebriated downhillers or motorcyclists, bike tune-ups, coaching Edwin in the ways of the world, organizing adventures in his image, keeping Pete on the straight and narrow, the waves in the ocean, protecting Richard from himself, protecting Jerry from the rest of us, coaching Peter Wood to victory and I could go on for hours but I must stop now...

Thank you RM for a great year. And ,of course, the same to all the RM's followers.
