[RC] LD's and 50 garbage - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Lianne dcantrall105@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== All I can say, is the person who puts down LD's is blind. LD's are building blocks for some. I know I would not want to run a Marathon if I hadn't run a 1/2 Marathon before. There are new people who want to experience what endurance is all about. I think it would be stupid or funny to do a 50 if you or the horse had never experienced an endurace ride before. I had a friend who did it. She was sucked into believing that you are a sissy if you do a LD. Boy was she sorry. Hee, Hee , Hee. I did the 25 for my first ride and enjoyed every minute of it. I still ride endurance, she does not. There are people who do have disabilities who can ride LD's but can not go any further. There are some who ride LD's finish with an ejoyable day, sit down with their beer, and watch everyone else go back out , come back tired , hungry and wanting that chair and beer. To each his own. But I do believe LD's belong in our sport. Lianne Cantrall =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
