Miles are miles, whether competitive or endurance,
whether fast or slow. There are a couple of things that competitive taught
me. One was to pace my horse, no getting caught up in the race, two was to
be able to ride smart enough that the horse could go 2 or 3 days. Folks
ride for their own reasons. Some just want to ride the distance that one
is comfortable with while others have the 100 as the final goal. Nothing
wrong with any of it. See ya at the Shore to Shore Truman where we can
continue the discussion while riding in some gorgous country.
