little Indian Earns His Feathers

In many cultures/clubs their is an initiation required to become fully vested. Initiation is a rite of passage marking entrance or acceptance into a group or society. It could also be a formal admission to adulthood in a community or one of its formal components. In an extended sense it can also signify a transformation in which the initiate is "reborn" into a new role. A spiritual initiation rite normally implies a shepherding process where those who are at a higher level guide the initiate through  a process of greater exposure of knowledge.

Many of you that ride with the PCRs have experienced one initiation ritual, "THE HEAD DUNK", but not all have earned their feathers by "mapping and leading" a Saturday ride. BIG MAN thought it was time for "little Indian" Hicks to do this. Last week he extended the challenge for yesterday's ride and little Indian, YES, pulled it off. He was very nervous during the week as he contacted BIG MAN several times to get his input, but finally after wise words from BIG MAN, "choose and lead", little Indian was inspired with a ride for the history books (blog).

The weather was perfect, the traffic was not, the vistas were often and the distance just the right amount of miles. Congratulations to little Indian in becoming fully vested in the forever growing PCRs
