Re: RC: Re: Fw: slow LD - Long Message

I'm getting ready to ride my first LD's this year.  I have
to tell you these posts have scared me to death.  I ride in
MN and have only ridden Competitive, but I have yet to meet
a rider on the trail that represents the rude riders you are
describing.  I've had 50 & 100 milers pass me with the most
respect.  They slow their horses down, let me know they are
coming up on me.  I firmly believe when I ride the LD's that
I will do it at my own pace and the devil with the ones that
want to race to win.  Maybe that is the theory to slow them
down.  If we all forgot about winning and just ride our own
ride wouldn't that work.  Maybe a very simplistic idea...but
some of the best are just that.
Diane & Phoenix, the ultimate pasture potatoe!!!
