Ridecamp: Re: [RC] What is the ONE thing?

That you can start after the pack. So, just because you check in with 
the timer doesn't mean you have to start with the group. My first ride was 
a muddy, story 25 (that last horrible Bankhead ride for those SE riders 
on the list) and the first 15 miles of that was in dead runaway mode :(

That's dangerous not only for the rider but dangerous for everyone else 
around (Howard, are you listening???). 

Since I was lucky enough to live throught that experience I decided it 
would never happen again - and it hasn't. I start late, stay home and 
train, get off and walk, whatever I gotta do so the start is as sane as t 
can be given that 30 - 50 horses are taking off at once :)
