[RC] [RC] Why they Don't Do 100s - OTTOWY

People seem to be missing the point.  100's and 50's are different.  In it's simplest form:
 
0n 100's you slow trot and walk
 
On 50's you extended trot and trot.......trot..........trot....canter.....trot! rinse repeat.
 
50's are MUCH more intense.  I could ride a 100 mile ride one day and the next go on a 5 miles hike.   After a 50 I couldn't even move for two days because the pace was so fast and it just drains you.
