Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Tevis

I was at the pre ride meeting.  I believe that I remember the request for the riders waiting in line at the start to be on the right side of the road so that other riders heading for the red shirt could have an open lane on the left side to pass up to the front.
Perhaps others who were blocking the lane were also rude?
Perhaps horses were not as manageable as we would like while waiting in that line?
Adrenaline flows in abundance at the start of the Tevis.  There were many accidents and incidents.  
I like the motto "Go along to get Along," and feel it is as important to endurance as "To Finish is to Win."
Not everyone has the same parlor manners, and horses have none.  
Difference of background and opinion make this Country strong.  I believe that the founders of the Tevis and AERC appreciated these differences.
