I think I need to go for a long ride. All this LD/Endurance stuff is making me cranky.
You wouldn't take up tennis and suggest rule changes or a scoring system that was easier to understand.
As someone else suggested, you wouldn't run in 20K's and resent not being considered a marathom runner.
I'm 63 years old and just got around to trying distance riding. Most days I think I'm one lucky lady to be able to be at the top of a mountain on a good horse in gorgeous country.
I'd sure like to do a 50, the trouble is I just keep getting older. My grandmother, however, used to point out that growing older is more fun than the alternative.
