Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

While I find the discussion on tights mildly entertaining, how about just
sticking to the original intent of our sport, and that is riding, enjoying
our horses and the challenge of trails, new and old.  It seems to me there
is enough marketing of the human body already that we don't need to do this
within our sport.  I admire athletic and accomplished people, men and women,
young and old.  Could we please just leave it this way, and leave the
marketing to the clothing manufacturers, perfume and cosmetics industries?
