I've heard of Avram, but I have not met him. Deb Duncombe is officially leaving the bike committee at the end of the month. I met **** Simmons on my first AMC ride 2 years ago; he took off like a bat out of H*** as the leader, so my husband had to chase him down to tell him there were people who were 1st time riders there. Not a good experience for them. But he calmed down and Steve and I ended up riding with him and 2 others at a normal pace.
The weather at the rally last year was very hot; about 95, but it was fun. We are doing the 50 mile ride (not leading, just riding). Do you know Janine Papesh? She has been active for years and is a very good friend of mine. We actually met at our health club, but when we joined AMC, I started riding with her, since she lives near me. We are doing a trip this summer with her and her husband.
