Good morning Mastodonians! Whew, I've had a crazy morning already...it's raining, getting windy, and I had to go supervise the setup of porta-johns at the Roadeo course first thing. Still waiting to hear from the tent people. Thankfully it's to be clear tomorrow, so we'll have a good day to run buses through our course.
And what's a Roadeo, you ask? It's a competition for bus drivers from around the state, testing their abilities. It includes a safety inspection, proper mobility device securement, and an obstacle course that drivers must negotiate safely. This all promotes safety and skill in the world of public transit, and the winners go on to a national competition.
And here's a video a friend shot of last year's Roadeo. If you're in the Baltimore/Annapolis/Columbia area and are interested, you're free to come by and watch. I may not get to say hi because I'll be running around like crazy helping run the thing, but I can wave, at least. Competition starts at 9:00 at the Dorsey MARC station, at Exit 7 on Rt 100.
