 LOL.  I just had to show this list to the folks at work who call me a
"vicodin addict".  It is nice to know that someone else considers it essential
too.  since my shoulder and knee injuries, I need it a couple times a month to
get a good nights sleep.

If the drug rules for riders were the same as for horses, we would not have to
worry about any LD v. "Real" Endurance.  There would be damn few riders out
there.  I once complained out loud about something or other hurting [I know,
it's hard to believe that I complained but it did happen once] and about 3
riders called back, what do you want?  They had a lot of drugs with them....

I have been following the LD v. 50 thread for some time and something just
occurred to me.  I have ridden 50's [started that way because there was
nothing else but Tevis]; I have ridden 100's and I have ridden LD.    I can't
every remember anyone saying a word about the distance I was riding.  What
race are you doing is a common question at a ride camp but no one has ever
asked me why I wasn't going longer or shorter.....nor would I care if they
did......Maryben [soon to be endurance rider again.  Come on knee, heal
already, it's been 6 months.  Enough is enough....
