I understand what you are saying and you have a good point... but bringing flowers and apologizing for making them uncomfortable when we asked them for the fourth time to stop riding in the swimming area would not have had the effect we were hoping for. (joking)

I chose not to mention names, but the fact remains that these were club members using club equipment, and we asked them to stop and it had little effect. Scott even intercepted one of the riders in the water to get his attention and was basically told "no i don't want to" upon suggesting that he ride further north away from the swimmers. Not sure who this rider was (but it was not Mike)... as Scott said, Mike did the right thing and moved a soon as he realized what was going on.

Hopefully he will set the example out there next time and encourage everyone to ride away from the swimmers.
