I've not had your experience. My colleagues know better. I dish out as well as I receive. Plus, I'm really Southern and them being Northern makes me a scarey Redneck. LOL

My colleagues and I share weekend activities during Monday's lunch time. When I began to seriously ride again, the guys were incredulous that I rode 70 miles in one day on a Saturday. There were a few silences as they digested all the information about the ride. Then one guy 27 years of age, after a silence, said, "I didn't drive my car 70 miles over the whole weekend." We all shared a good laugh.

Give the newbie a chance cause stupidity is a genetic problem, not a choice.
