Yes for sure. I guess I remember the old pre-RUSA days with a cue sheet that would say ride to the next state, turn around and come back, see you at the finish (some exaggeration but not much). When I arrive at a control now and there is a table with chairs and water and some snacks by volunteers, it is just an emotional feeling of some sort. I don't expect anything like that but when you need water and there is a cold gallon sitting there, it sure feels good. Maybe why NJ has such massive turnouts on 200k brevets, I wonder if this super duper support helps grow randonneuring.
