Re: [RC] [RC] re: endurance riders aloof? I don't think so - Sky RanchIf you think people are friendly on this list (and they are) just wait til you get to the REAL Ridecamp. Endurance riders (and ctr riders too) are a friendly and helpful bunch, I've found.

I don't think so Nobodies told me to get lost yet, even though I tend to be a bit "obsessive compulsive" about asking questions, so I think Endurance riders AND Competitive trail riders are a really neat bunch for the most part. I cornered a poor soul a while ago at a store who I had been talking to while waiting for my mom. The poor stranger mentioned that they had done both Comp. trail and Endurance, and were very good natured about me picking their brain until my mom came and rescued them! LOL! Thanks for putting up with me! You guys are the best!

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.

I don't think so 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.
