This event also includes hiking, trail running etc.
If you're not into it then don't do it, easy peasy. Also while I remember them saying they had 'excess' funds, I took that to mean that they for the first time they actually have a chance to build contingency for years that might not be so good (ie they might have lower membership income due to recession etc. and not have to lay off their staff), I don't remember anyone saying "we can't spend this"
What's so bad about a trail association have a surplus of operating funds? They could focus on putting the additional funds towards projects such as building a new trail or overhauling an existing one.
