I can't believe the LD baloney is coming up
again. Above all this sport is what one makes of it. Period. I
am thrilled that LD is around since I find 50s uncomfortable to do now. I
am thrilled that my friends my age are still doing 50s and multiple day
rides. Go Bill and Earl. They always give me hugs when they see me
and their viewpoint is the same as mine. Get out and ride and do what one
can do. Riding keeps me sane. I may not be as fast now but I can
still varoom around trees, I can still wha-hoo on trails, I can still mentor
juniors, I can still eat ice cream in camp (I got that in Truman). I have
never ever felt like trail trash, I even have 50 milers come over and trot my
horse out for me, it just doesn't get any better than that. Old timers
young timers. What is the big deal? I did my very first ride in 1970,
a 100 which I didn't finish but I learned tons. Guess what? 37 years
later, I am still in ridecamp, I am still riding, the most important fact of
all, I am still riding. YA-HOOOOOO!!
