to be honest, I don't real know how to set up a cruise or meet anymore.
if I post it early, most of the responses are "too early, don't know what's the plan on that day yet", and the post will get buried and people will forget it.
if I post it a week or 10 days before, then most of the response are "too late, I have plans already"
either way, most of the response are "I will show up if I can"
where we have 15+ people ask "when is the cruise?"
and eventually 20+ people replied "I have other plan"
also, as you guys know we've been using the same two routes for many times, and if you would understand there's virtually no twisties around GTA area, it does take time to find some roads from the map, draw a route and make sure they are all paved.
and I setup a brand new route (with the help of Mr.Boomer370)
how much time does it take? 3-4 hours
and it takes me another 1-2 hours to enter the route into the GPS.
I don't use google map on the smartphone because some remote area does not have steady data-signal.
I done all those on my own time and effort.
The reason why I volunteer to do this?
so that we can get together and have fun.
but the response is somehow frustrated, not only this time.
if someone ask "when is the next cruise?" again.....
alcheng doesn't know.
I am sorry if this post (or rant whatever you call it) gets anyone upset or whatever, it is not meant that way.
