Got back from Death Valley Encounters. Had a great
time. I just wanted to ask some of you Ridecampers to see how you
determine pacing!
Last year I rode with someone who did intervals of walk and
trot over the long flat stretches. This year I rode with someone who
maintained long sustained trots. Then I rode with someone else who would
walk, then canter to catch up. All three regularly top ten
endurance rides of 50 to 100 miles.
Beau and I discovered the beauty of maintaining a long
sustained trot. We used to be the surge and rest type, which I think
annoys some of the other riders. What do you think?
