RE: [RC] [RC] re: endurance riders aloof? I don't think so - Rae
I’m sure I may give that impression
too – that I’m aloof or rude, but hey, I’m deaf and sometimes
hearing aid batteries go out in the middle of the trail, so no, I may not hear
someone shouting behind me that they want to pass. Plus, you’d be
surprised at how loud wind is in a microphone. Sometimes I can’t even
hear the person right next to me over it.

Keep in mind that what one person finds "aloof and rude" may
be quite twisted. A friend told me about someone (and I happen to know
this person) who does NATRC, and went to an endurance ride about a year
ago. She decided after that ride that she'd stick with NATRC, because
endurance riders were rude and stand-offish...when asked what she meant, she
told my friend that whenever she'd arrive at a NATRC ride, other riders would
immediately drop everything and come over and help her set up her camp,
horse pen, etc....and endurance riders didn't do that. (!!!!) Turns
out that, at least at the NATRC rides she attends, people get extra points or
something like that for going out of their way to help other people.
Hmmm...take away the points incentive, and let's see how "helpful"
those people would be. <G> Bet they'd be just like endurance
riders...friendly, but not falling all over themselves to wait on one another
hand and foot. LOL
