Re: [RC] Cheating Statement - rides2farI grew up riding in another region and never once heard any accusations of cheating. I have just now viewed all the postings on cheating. I hear these rumors passed around almost every ride I have attended in the Southeast, Boy, now there's a statement that'll make you popular around the neighborhood. I've been riding in the SE region since 1987, gone to 80 or so rides, and I've heard about 3 accusations...one that was actually widely believed and that person was not a native. Just to see if I'm naive I just asked Josie if she'd ever heard anybody say they thought somebody else cheated. She's been competing here for 4 years and going to rides since she was a month old. She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "No!". So if you're hearing those accusations so often maybe you're just hanging around with a very suspicious, negative bunch. You need to come run with the happy crowd. When somebody beats us, we just congratulate them, then sit back and have some coffee waiting for it to get dark so we can set their tent on fire. >eg< Angie (the virtual neighborhood is so unlike reality sometimes) ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
