Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I've done this once at a ride, the last five miles we rode very close behind three tired riders.  I wasn't trying to "draft", I wanted to pass, but the trail wouldn't allow it, and the riders wouldn't yield their placings, so my horse, literally "pushed" those horses across the finish line.  After this discussion, those three riders probably did it on purpose because before we were right behind them, they were using makeshift crops to 'motivate" the horses to go forward.  With me behind them, no more motivation was needed other than my horse breathing down their necks.
