[RC] Mentoring (was: regarding 75 mile rides) - rdcarrie

Angie mentioned expanding on the mentoring concept, with some 50 milers helping some LDers through their first 50.  I'd be more than willing to do so.  I ride mid- to back of the pack, only concerned with completing, and don't mind adjusting my pace to others.  In fact, I've sort of informally hooked up with first-timers when riding LDs before and ridden with them.  I like riding with newbies...it's fun.  So if anyone in E. TX ever wants to do their first 50 and wants someone to ride it with, give me a holler.  I'll be doing the 50 at Unicorn Hunt on Aug. 6. Of course, you may have to put up with me barfing off the side of my horse on the last loop from the heat.  (I never said I was smart...if I was, I wouldn't do a 50 in E. TX in Aug.)  <G>  But that's just me...I don't handle the heat/humidity well.  Most people do fine.  So don't let it scare you.  Come on out and have fun.  I haven't don e this ride before, but I've heard it's a good one.  :)  Same offer for mentoring stands for other rides in Texas...minus the barfing.  ;)
