I didn't even get out of the airport before I met some fellow ridecampers I
had never met before.  But maybe that is just because I tend to talk to
strangers if I think they are endurance people.  Somehow you can just tell.  I
met a whole ton of people I didn't know before and since I have been riding
endurance for 26 years I tend to already know a lot of people.  The only
people I found who were not terribly outgoing were the people we shared a
table with at the banquet.  I asked my friends who had saved us places if they
were friends of theirs and when I found out they weren't I introduced myself
and everyone else at the table.  They were from a different region and I
introduced my friends I had come with, 3 of us from California and 4 from
Oregon.  They were polite but definitely not interested in socializing.   [And
yes, we were on our best behavior and not being our usual rowdy selves].  By
the way, an interesting side note is that I think they were limited distance
riders and of all my friends, I have the fewest miles with almost 8,000.  I
don't say this to start an argument, just as an interesting thought that
occurred to me.  I'm really sorry you had a bad experience...Maryben
