Re: RC: New Motto?

[Teddy Lancaster <teddy@runningbear.com>]

I've been trying for years to get Tom to an endurance ride....let's keep at
him...  How about him being a speaker at the convention.  Can you imagine the
debate that could happen..  what a crowd you would draw.

I would LOVE to see a live debate like we have had here.  I think we have gained
more information in the past week just from ridecamp than from most of the
articles in Endurance News...no slight to the articles...there have been a very
many good ones, but the "live" interaction sure makes people think and ask.

We are all here to learn, and if not, we are just passengers.
