Thanks Jon. I truly believe that what you give you receive in return. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon.Linderman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 12:46 PM To: Deanna German Cc: Ridecamp; ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] [RC] Sharing expenses to rides When I was racing bikes I ran into people who mooched rides, tools, food, floor space in motels ,etc, and never were appreciative or paid things back. Worse yet, if it was someone who was a good racer, they pretty much felt it was owed to them to be treated like royalty. I guess the inconsiderate free-loading types exist in every sport. You did a real nice thing in trying to help someone out and be an ambassador for endurance people. Hopefully, in the future you'll get some good karma out of it. I can honestly say I have met few people in my limited expereince here in OH, who I wouldn't be willing to help out w/a ride. I hope your efforts don't dissuade you & hopefully you can discretely alert your true friend about a potential freeloader so they don't get burned too.
