Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

C'mon people. You are critiquing this young person as if she were a 
professional rider and writer. How old is she? Nineteen?? NINETEEN! What do 
you want? This was an article for EN, (which is a great magazine but it 
isn't TIME magazine or whatever you all think is a brilliant mag) written by 
a nineteen year old who is only sharing her experiences. Again, she is 
NINETEEN. When she is 40 and still riding, I guarantee she will have a tad 
more EXPERIENCE and then she can write a different article.  Take from it 
what you want or ignore it. Jiminy Crickets!

Jeeze, I wish I had been as brilliant at nineteen as some of you must have 
been. I THOUGHT I knew it all back then, but I was mistaken. I am pretty 
sure I also thought the only way to achieve anything was my way, which of 
course was the right way. ;)

The article suggested eight weeks.
