Feeling old
5% rule peeps
Spend 5% of your on trail time helping to maintain it
On trail time includes gas bagging and waiting for mates to catch up
This equated to 3 minutes per hour
I think the average rider would spend 5 hours a week on trail
That's 15 minutes a week or 1 hour per month
So every 3 months you forgo a ride and get yourself along to a maintenance day
You spend 3 hours with like minded peeps helping create a work of art that is a gas to ride
You might even get a sausage sizzle at the end if you're lucky
Advocacy in the form of letter writing, meetings etc is all a bonus
Anybody who reads or posts on forums I would consider a 'committed' rider (passionate if you like)
And, IMHO, are selfish if they can't contribute in this way
