Re: [RC] leaving late problems with it - Kathy Mayeda

Yeah, I was riding with a newbie rider in an LD and we were trying to
do the very same thing with the drag riders!

I ALWAYS go out a few minutes behind the pack, but the last time I
rode with someone else we left with the pack, had a few histrionics
but I survived.  I guess "I AM" the one that has problems with ride
starts.  Not the horse.

right - you go I'll wait; ?oh I wanted to leave last; no I wanted to leave

every one squirting their water bottles at each other trying to get the
other horse down the trail first. ?So much for "hot shoe" LDers. ?: ?)
