I liked him and his stories. I am friends with him on the facebooks. He's doing great and riding a lot again. He is doing lots of consecutive 70+ mile days.

I'm terrible with names, but there was a guy from Georgia (truck driver maybe?) who was overweight and getting into cycling who I enjoyed since I also began cycling for fitness plus weight loss. He didn't last to the end of the LF, but I loved his attitude. Of course, my experience coaching high school athletes, chess players, rec. league football, piano, etc. is that those who jump into something over-excited about it are the first ones to lose interest. Apparently the same happened with that guy. There was a British teenager who had recently got into competitive chess on chess.com and who announced on forums, "Chess is my life!" and described all the chess books and organizations he was joining. He was a good enough player to beat all his friends but below-average on chess.com and major improvement would take years no matter what. I urged him to take his time, expand his interests beyond chess, and to concentrate on the harder-to-study tactics and strategy lessons needed to improve chess instead of focusing on clever moves in grandmasters' games. He didn't, he didn't improve, and within a year was no longer heard from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried helping him out once. He wanted to learn the C programming language. I've been programming on and off for 30 years so I thought I could help get him started. He asked who to get started, I pointed him to a link with all the tools he'd need to get started. Great. He asked a question, I answered it with the correct answer but he disagreed. OK. He asked another question, answered it correctly yet he disagreed. BTW, had he followed my advise from the first question, he wouldn't have had to ask the second question. Then he asked the third question, I answered it correctly and he disagreed again. Mind you, I had 30 year experience and he had like 3 hours experience. I have no idea why he felt that my advise was incorrect. It wasn't making me mad or anything. I actually thought it was funny but I have no idea how he was planning to learn to program in C if he isn't going to listen to people who want to share best practices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those folks that take broken or not running equipment for repair and then argue with the repairman on what is needed.
