Got my Cinderella Registration Form!

[snapdragen]

I've arrived early and I've arrived late - alway there is a wait to check in. I can't agree about being the best supported ride either, but we are entitled to our opinions. I've done many others that are/were much better. And yes, I'm aware of how the ride originated. But it has evolved, whether the club wants to admit it or not. It's no longer 1976 - time to move into 2006, that includes the fee if necessary. The Tierra Bella is only $10 more, with online registration, night before check-in, and a much better supported ride too.

Main Entry: Ludd·ite
Pronunciation: 'l&-"dIt
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from Ned Ludd, 18th century Leicestershire workman who destroyed machinery
: one of a group of early 19th century English workmen destroying laborsaving machinery as a protest; broadly : one who is opposed to especially technological change

It used to be that you could register day of for the Cinder, but it got so popular the club had trouble with the cities involved, because there would end up being more riders than they had predicted and permitted for.

Not sure what you mean by the 'luddite' crack. The club makes no money on this ride, they put it on to encourage women riders. They don't have the funds to become more technological, and for just one ride a year, why put out the money. The ride originally started because female club members felt like they got the short end of the stick because they'd end up doing all the work while the men road. Thus the woman only Cinderella was born.

Not sure what time you're arriving that you end up waiting 45 minutes, unless you're getting there when the gates first open. Go a little bit later and there isn't as much, if any, wait.

It's one of the best supported rides you will find, and they have kept the fee the same for many years. This can't be said for a lot of the other rides that other clubs put on. If you don't want to do the ride, don't. There are plenty more who'd be happy to have your space.
