It was said that we didn't have to compete if we choose not to wear a helmet
that's pretty much the same thing.	People do do not have to make decisions for
me . The beauty of endurance is that it is a sport where a person do things
the way one chooses and not have to dress and act like the show ring people
and yet the small minded thinking is still there. THe diference in risk level
riding a horse 50 miles with or without a helmet is negilible. It is not like
stepping in front of a truck where the results have to end in disaster.
