2009-03-07 Sat - Eilidh memorial ride - 12:30pm Start Time

Today just goes to show that when the forum works together it can achieve something beautiful and truly inspirational.
Maybe today can be a catalyst for stopping all the petty arguments that have been happening on the forum lately...which i too have been guilty of being involved in.
To disagree with somebody is no bad thing, and simply marks us out as true individuals...but to resort to nasty,abusive, name calling is only self destructive, both to the forum as a whole and to a persons soul.

As was shown today on the memorial ride, life is far too short, so why waste it on directing our hatred towards the very people we chat to, laugh with, and on occasion disagree with?

The forum itself may be a faceless entity hidden away behind our computer screens, but the thousands of people who make it what it is are clearly some of the most loving, caring, and inspiring individuals we will probably ever meet...and today, everybody on this ride did just that...met each other face to face.

I never knew you Eilidh...but there was still an overwhelming sense of loss on the roads today.
Rest in peace Eilidh...your spirit will live on in everybody who rides.
