Karen, go and ride. You will be just
fine. Most endurance riders are very polite and helpful. Just
because we are stating our pet peeves doesn't mean that we treat everyone like
dirt, except for Dr. Q! However, there are some out there on trail who are
quite annoying and I am sure that those of us who have experienced this have
handled the situation as nicely as possible or maybe not. That said, there
are always jerks, whether the one in front or the one behind. Don't let
those people keep you from going and doing what you want to do. And one of
the rudest riders I ever ran across was a NATRAC rider. So it occurs
whether one rides competitive or endurance.
