RE: [RC] Racing to finish the National Championship 50 -April&Alamahn's Story - Maryben Stover

I always find it amazing the number of people who jump right in with a whole bunch of opinions about someone they never met at an event they did not attend.  I would bet that most of the people posting do not know April and have never even met her.  I met her as ride secretary and talked to her because she comes from a part of California that is pretty remote but we actually have friends in common (long story).  I have also found in the past that a lot of the people with the opinions have not even ridden endurance......................................mb

Let's also outlaw Cigarettes, Alcohol, guns, Swimming pools, Bikes, soccer, Bath tubs, I could go on and on, but others will and do for me.  Do you know if you throw a lawn dart at someone it could kill or seriously hurt someone, no duh!!!!  The government can really make us all safe. 
 
BTW I wear a helmet,but I also get on the back of a 1000 lb animal with a (small) mind of his own and I fall off lots of times.
 
There are consequences for all, but let people live their lives.

Gee, Melody. It must be nice to be perfect. Never made a mistake. Never made a bad judgement call. Never let emotions overrule common sense. 
 
Back off.
