A good way to pass time and keep spirits up on the "droopy" parts of a ride is
to sing a song where you make up verses as you go along. If you're in a group,
see who can come up with the best verses.

A good song for this is an old Weaver's tune. It has a chorus that goes:

"Hey la-lee la-lee la-lee,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
Hey la-lee la-lee la-lee,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo."

The you just add couplets for verses (pretty easy). Such as:

"See this handsome chestnut horse,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
He's the best horse on this course!
Hey la-lee la-lee lo."

Or about people, such as:

"Truman came up from gator-land,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
He says these rocks are just big sand,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo."

About the trail:

"We're ridin' down this rocky road,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
It's got more rocks than bumps on a toad,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo."

Or just fun:

"My butt is chafed, my feet are sore,
Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
But what the hell let's ride some more!
Hey la-lee la-lee lo."
