RE: [RC] [RC] re: endurance riders aloof? I don't think so - Chelsea Marsh

I don't wear a hearing aid and I still find it difficult to hear if it's
really windy when I'm out on the trail. If you want my attention just
chuck something at me if I can't hear you!

I'm sure I may give that impression too - that I'm aloof or rude, but
hey,
I'm deaf and sometimes hearing aid batteries go out in the middle of the
trail, so no, I may not hear someone shouting behind me that they want to
pass.  Plus, you'd be surprised at how loud wind is in a microphone.
Sometimes I can't even hear the person right next to me over it.

Keep in mind that what one person finds "aloof and rude" may be quite
twisted.  A friend told me about someone (and I happen to know this
person)
who does NATRC, and went to an endurance ride about a year ago.  She
decided
after that ride that she'd stick with NATRC, because endurance riders
were
rude and stand-offish...when asked what she meant, she told my friend
that
whenever she'd arrive at a NATRC ride, other riders would immediately
drop
everything and come over and help her set up her camp, horse pen,
etc....and
endurance riders didn't do that.  (!!!!)  Turns out that, at least at the
NATRC rides she attends, people get extra points or something like that
for
going out of their way to help other people.  Hmmm...take away the points
incentive, and let's see how "helpful" those people would be.  <G>  Bet
they'd be just like endurance riders...friendly, but not falling all over
themselves to wait on one another hand and foot.  LOL
