In the posts I received about advice for a 48yo
more than a few of you mentioned pain. Here are some examples.
-The pain goes away...sort of like having a
baby...soon as the ride is over you are planning the next one.
-Pain is temporary
-Thought I was going to die the first 3
months
My question is...How many of you experience
pain during long rides and how much pain do you endure for the love of your
sport? I am not averse to pain...having done marathons.. however ,my wife and
riding partner is. Has anyone found ways to lessen rider discomfort? What
helps? My wife is a nurse so on a scale of 1 to 10(ten unbearable) what levels
do you ride with? Is a 50 twice as painful as a 25? Do you find that a ride
can be very uncomfortable and yet again the same ride in the same saddle on the
same horse another day is wonderful?? Thanks again for your
opinions,Steve
