[RC] thoughts on 100s, loop trails - Ed Kilpatricki have only done one 100 miler. i dont mind loop trails at all. as long as i get to ride, i am having fun. knowing how far you have gone, reaching the halfway point, etc, that is just another part of the mental aspect of preparing for a 100. most of us probably do repititions on trails when we train, so to me, it just isnt a big deal. i usually train on the same 8 and 10 mile trails. i could ride them all day. i just always feel like i am accomplishing something when i am out there working with my horse. i dont really think it matters that much to the horse either. so dont let that be an excuse. many have already said it, but i will chime in. get your horse ready, get out there and do it. you will be glad you did. cowboy ed
