Attitudes

[sue@raton.com (Sue Norris)]

This is in reply to the post from Ken in the West Region. THANK YOU, THANK
YOU, THANK YOU, for saying what I have been wanting to say, but have been
holding back.  The "chip on the shoulder" analogy is exactly what all this
complaining is coming off as. Let's face it, there are no free rides in
life, nothing is perfect, people from all walks of life can, and will be
rude, sometimes things don't always go the way we would like them to,
sometimes life is a bowl of cherries, and sometimes it is a bucket of
horse****, so what, that's how life is sometimes, so do the best YOU can as
a person, and DEAL WITH IT!!! I also have never seen LD riders being treated
as a lower life form, although I am sure everbody in this game has been
stepped on at one time or another in some large or miniscule degree, but
like I said, there are always going to be a certain number of jerks. But in
my experience, doing both LD and endurance rides, the nice people FAR out
number the inconsiderate. 
 

          Anyway, I don't want to repeat everything that Ken said so
wonderfully, I just wanted to thank him for telling it like it is. 

  
                 Another unwritten rule: This is not a sport for whiners!!
