[b]What riding taught me[/b]

As a youth riding taught me how to judge speed and distance, poise & balance. Not to take unreasonable and UN-calculated risks and chances because I learned the hard way (on dirt where it doesn't hurt as bad as asphalt). It also taught me to be responsible for my actions or suffer the consequences. It taught me how to take care of my belongings because they had to last, Dad said he wasn't buying me anymore if I tore them up. I also had to learn to prioritize so I would have the privilege to ride.

As an adult, more than 25 years later, riding has taught me confidence in my abilities. Given me a way to stay in better shape, how to be responsible for my actions & equipment, how to prioritize my schedule and most importantly given me quality time with my daughter in the family oriented environment of the tracks and tails. Now she is learning how to judge speed, distance, poise & balance. I think you know where I'm going with this.

Good luck in your endeavors but remember to respect your parents if they don't agree with you, it's their right as parents and you'll be there one day.
