There are a few of my RRs that I could have thrown-in over the last year or so, but I've tended not to, as it's hard to know what others find interesting and less so. I did put my PBP RR in, as that was one I was particularly happy with. A couple of thoughts:
How about expanding the functionality of the Ride Reports sub-board here, so that readers can give a star-rating to the reports they read. The good stuff could then be more readily identified.
How about drawing the attention of the various Arrivee eds to this place, as I'm sure there is plenty here that the original authors would be only to pleased to share if requested.

I'm never always sure when I've written a good article. I still get rare comments about my American tour which I wrote about nearly ten years ago. I never thought much of it at the time and just thought that it would be a handy filler article.
I know when I have something worth writing about. It doesn't always come from a good ride. I have lots of good rides, but they aren't all worth writing about. They are always better when there is a bit of a story involved.
Some articles, I get fed up with and don't read them. Others, I really enjoy. You can't please everyone. Some people really enjoy the articles which I don't.
Arrivee isn't at a stage when it is able to turn articles away. It is starting to get desperate for articles.
Sending Tim some photos is a very good idea too. Especially if you have the names of the people in the photos. That photo of me in the latest Arrivee is on it's second or third showing now. So he must be desperate for photos if he's willing to show my ugly mug in the mag.
Maybe we could have a photo of one of the John Spooners?
How about a John Spooner identity parade, where we have photos of various John Spooners and we have to pick our much loved dweller of bus shelters.
There used to be more short and humourous articles in Arrivee too. (Which were often written by a certain Lynn Goring, who's true identity escapes me. It could well have been one of the John Spooners. Who knows?)
If you enjoy it, then the chances are, that so will someone else.
