Tonight is the Anchor House Ride All Participant meeting. This is the night that riders and support staff turn in collected pledge monies, PR photos are taken and a legion of final details are attended to. After a mind-numbingly boring program is endured by all and sundry, we leave the assembly hall knowing that its less than a month until we board the busses enroute to Charlottesville VA and the start of this year's annual endeavor.
Fourteen years ago, I attended my first All Participant; nervous, apprehensive and excited by turns. Although the novelty has long since worn off and the butterflys have stopped fluttering when I reach this point of the year, I can still remember how it felt jumping into a grand adventure where all sorts of pleasures and terrors awaited.
Tonight I have to discuss some of the unusual challenges facing us as we deal with multiple hotels on the first three nights. If possible I'll post some photos tomorrow.
