I'm all for a level playing field.
I used to do NH racing (waaaay back) and the sport was, and still is, dominated by men. It was the game of skill that came into it - just the same as on 2 wheels.


I know I got cold feet at the thought of doing Rockingham, with lots of guys out there - some of whom I ride with on the road who are much more 'sharper' than I ever will be.
As it was, the weather put paid to me getting more out of it than I did.
I certainly wouldnt have wanted it to be a 'ladies only' session then - even tho some on this board are 'big girls' :P

Lily, you are right about the nature/nurture bit, but only you can decide how to handle that.
Me - its nature with the horses, & nurture with my bike.
