Hi Alison -- you have raised some good points.  I ride NATRC as well as 
endurance and really feel that NATRC has helped me to learn at a slower pace 
before going on to 50s and longer stuff.  I know we don't need more rules, 
but some people could really benefit from learning at a CTR before they try 
endurance (not everybody, just some people).  Barring that, some type of 
educational interlude for newbies would be nice at an endurance ride.  That 
brings up the mentoring thing too which is also a good idea.  My asbestos 
suit is worn out, so hopefully I won't get flamed for this :)
