=====================
I like to start at the tail end or even after everyone else is out of sight
tho I have started with the group - but I'm still not real comfortable with
30 or 40 or 50 fresh, fit horses taking off at once in the cool morning
air.
I'm quickly learning that there is *not* necessarily a direct correlation
between where you start and where you finish :->.

Embers - sometimes we start with everyone else and boy do I wanna go
Tony - I don't get to start with the group for a long, long time
