The following are some of the benefits that I see to this forum:
(by using the word endurance, I don't mean to exclude the
other distance riding disciplines such as ride & tie and
competitive trail - these share many of the same interests)
1. Strengthen the distance riding community (people meeting people)
2. Post announcements, results, classifieds
3. Dispense information (techniques, equipment, feeding & care,
training methods, rules & regs, etc)
4. Seek information - ask questions
5. Discuss distance riding policies, methods, philosophies
6. Share distance riding experiences
I know - this is still pretty gray ... but I just want
to maintain the endurance/distance riding *focus*. It's not
so much the specific topic as much as it is digression into
opinion battles (few and far-between!) and chat.
