		<description>Just read your post and realized that my fiance and I were standing in front of the guy on the right of the image at Penn Station on Saturday morning, and I think I recognize you from the Mastic-Shirley parking lot! Glad that you managed to actually ride on Saturday... we didn't, although we did get a lovely bus tour of the Hamptons. In defense of the "staffers" unloading the bikes, I was so angry with them at one point that I had to restrain myself, but after spending an hour and a half with them on the bus it turned out that they were actually a group of Eagle and Boy Scouts who were working the ride to raise money for a whitewater rafting trip and Glen pretty much left them out to dry... it's no excuse for the way some of them handled our bikes and the loudspeaker, but it is another sign of Glen's "excellent" management skills.  

Here's my advice to anyone considering going on a ride organized by Glen of bicycleshows.us or, even worse, asking him to coordinate a ride for charity, like the September Bike MS/Tappan Zee Bike Ride that he is charge of, three words: don’t do it. This man has no organizational skills, has no idea how to deal with a crisis situation, and has no respect for riders or their bikes. My guess is that he is just going to run off with all the money he didn’t spend on hiring staff (none of the volunteers had a clue what was going on), renting walkie-talkies (he had no way of communicating with anyone at Penn Station when, hours after departure, it turned out that our bikes were still there - presumably as unguarded as they were when we arrived back on Saturday night) buying the “best bike ride food ever” (far from it - but we didn't ride so we didn't really need it anyway) and making sure, most basically, that there were enough trucks to transport our bikes so we could do what we signed up for: ride to Montauk.</description>

		<description>Yeah, I was in the same situation.  The only thing is, the guys unloading trucks were high school kids that volunteered to help.  For some of them, this was the first time they volunteered to work a ride at all.  So... I wouldn't be too angry with them.  But, I agree with everything else you said.  The chaos did force us all to make pretty good time to the finish line.</description>
