Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

My experience shows that most people of whom we ask questions, and those who 
know the answers, are flattered to pieces to be able to share their 
knowledge with the ones who need educating.  So, far from endurance riders 
being aloof, I have found them happy to share knowledge.  And they are kind 
enough not to look at the newbie as "dumb", just not yet experienced.  We 
have all been through a learning curve in endurance riding, and it all comes 
back when someone asks a question.  I always remember the really uninformed 
things I did when I first started, 35 years ago.
