pushing down descents

In all fairness (to me) there wasn't really any pushing downhill. Uphill, yes, across, certainly ... but not down

The only thing I have against the 'Enduro crowd' is that they're the same b'stards who laughed at me for wearing a bum bag ... now they're all at it

I should have put more smilies in

I think that, really, I fall pretty firmly into the "WGAF about it all" category

It's all bikes and that kinda makes it great, though I don't expect to like or identify with everyone else just because two wheels are involved

This is how I feel I should view it all. I lose sight of that sometimes and get too opinionated about it I guess. Must. Calm. Down.

Pffffffft. I've had a decade or more of advocacy practice and typing it isn't the same as not (sometimes) thinking "unkind" thoughts
