Re: RC: LD

[Bluebirdpr@aol.com]

My wife and myself went to our first AERC convention recently in Reno.  We
went with great anticipation of meeting a lot of new people and getting exited
about the up and coming season in which my wife was looking to riding a few
50s and then really concentrate on the 100s.  We left Reno with a completely
different attitude about AERC and "endurance riding."  We both were surprised
at the "Closed" clicky groups and how political AERC and most people were.  I
mean even at the Ridecamp breakfast no introductions were ever made and it
wasn't until the very end when most people had left that someone suggested
passing out name tags.  I could never figure out why there was so much hoopla
about LD riders, but after going to the convention and seeing the attitude of
the "serious endurance riders," I now understand.  Since life is too.....short
we have decided to ride for the pure pleasure and beauty of the sport and
leave the "serious endurance riders" to continue their bickering and
complaining and brown nosing to themselves.

Friendly LDs from the SE
