Re: [RC] why we ride?? - Chris PausThanks Joe. I find it comical that when I started this sport and joined Ridecamp in 1997, this was the raging argument then.. I got off ridecamp for several years, came back recently, and lo and behold, it's still the argument de jour... chris --- Joe Long <jlong@xxxxxxxx> wrote: On Sun, 16 May 2004 20:03:29 -0700 (PDT), Chris Paus <paus@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: ...Funny thing, while the arguments go on and on at Ridecamp, the riders keep riding whatever distance they choose to do for whatever reason, and for the most part, have fun doing so.Thank you for posting this.
