does that mean if one was to attend just one meeting because say, they live 70 miles from groton and have no one to watch their kids on tuesday nights, they would be excused from the rest of the meetings and could just participate in the members side of the forum for club descisions?? or would they be required to attend every meeting thereafter being voted in??

If you meet the other 2 requirements, then technically you meet the requirements for someone to motion for you to be voted in. I'm not on the board of directors and they could give you further clarification, but the big thing is
regular participation in some way. Few members make every meeting, but during the warmer months we usually see people once a month or so at some meeting or event.
The biggest difference to the members side is we can talk about locations of trails, since we don't want everyone knowing. The legal places to go wheeling in new england are guarded like the recipe for Coke
. Too many trails in NE have been shut down by people not following the Tread Lightly policy, so the trails we do have left are for people who will wheel responsibly. If you look on other forums you will see how many trails both private and public have been shut down. When I first started wheeling in NE it seemed kind of "stuck up" or "snobby" thing for the clubs to keep the trail info private, but after a short time I realized why it has to be that way.
