Cathy Yeager has been a longtime GSW group leader, in the Concord NH area and for (at least) the past 13 years has sucessfully promoted camaradarie, safe riding practices and enjoyable ride routes for those in the 14-15 mph riding abillity. Cathy's dedication to GSW and countlesss hours of volunteering her time in preperation of ride routes have been appreciated by many in the Concord area.  I have participated in many of Cathy's group rides throughout the years, and have always enjoyed each and every ride. While it is still relatively early in the riding season, I have noticed a sharp decline in the amount of GSW members joining the Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday Concord rides. Paticularly since Cathy's leasrdership role has not been renewed.  We look foward to participating in this moderate ride catagory, and support Cathy's reinstatement as a group ride leader.  This petition is intended to be submitted to the GSW board for review and consideration.
