I don't think too many of the Region Leaders are overly active on their region's board any longer. I see very few rides offered throughout the year.

I belong to a few groups and these groups seem to always have something they are putting together. Sometimes there are a lot who participate, while other times just a few; but for certain there is always something going on.

Having been a ARL before I realize it can be a difficult, time-consuming, and most times a thankless job; but "back-in-the-day" we attempted to put regional rides together. Eventually a small, but core group of members would at least show for a few of the rides. It never was a huge group, but at least there was something.

It just seems the regional idea needs some work... JMHO

EDIT: Since my days... we have lost most of our NCR leaders and or ARL's to national positions. Jay is now the VBA President; and Amin is the VBA V.P. We keep losing our regional guys to higher, more grand positions.
