Re: I'm a insecure Newbie
Hi Peggy!
RELAX! I was a newbie a year ago at age 67 (never rode
before)! You will find almost ALL CTR and Endurance
Riders eager to help.
It's great to Volunteer at a couple of rides to learn the
details...almost as much fun as riding and no sore
muscles!
Many Endurance Riders do CTR for a year or two
before trying the 50 to 100 mile Endunance Events.
