FWIW - I don't think of you as a beginner. Like you said, you are out there doing what so many others do not.

And I liked what GraysonKelly said about always learning new things. To many, I am not a beginner, and my racing license does say something about Expert somewhere on there. BUT - I have moved to my level of mediocrity, and consider myself a beginner in my new classes - the bottom of the totem pole (and often, the results!). I learn something from the people against whom I "race" and with whom I "train". To them, I am a beginner ...

Don't get caught up in labels. Go out and enjoy your riding!
