[RC] Reasons you didn't make it to a ride... feel free to add... - Spottedracer

Big breath - here we go!

Missed LBL this year - since my daughter was just shy of her birthday and 
couldn't ride... So I added Derby Dash to my list of 'want to rides' - then 
realized I couldn't AFFORD the gas + entry fees + lost riding lesson wages for 
BOTH.... So I decided to shoot for Derby Dash (for the my sanity - from the 
daughter's whinning!!)

Then I missed Derby Dash - primarily since I had a bad fall 3 weeks prior - and 
the resulting whiplash was so bad, I was still having to take narcotics JUST TO 
GET TO SLEEP.. Aaakkk! I'm pretty tough, but Doc wouldn't clear me to do 75 
miles... So I took some students and my Daughter to LBL and did a SLOW 
trailride of 11 miles instead.. (did have a Transmission issue also - turned 
out to be a sensor though -WEW!! good luck there!!)

OK, my buddy Cheryl, has missed every endurance ride this year - since her mare 
has this periodic mild lameness thing going on, that the vet can't diagnose... 
From what I read here - lots of people have had this reason too...

So we're ALL shooting for BSF - hopefully nothing will stop us this time!
