Why is it called "reserve" on our horses & "fat" on us ?
I agree with Dawn, a few less pounds helps the rider. I like to hike both
up & down during parts of my conditioning rides. I don't mind the
Exercise bike if there is an engaging show on TV or hand held Scrabble to get my
mind off the pain on off days! During the rides ( usually 50s ) i find it
very helpful to get off to stretch my legs, and hike most of the down hills
& some of the up hills. I find I have less muscle soreness after the
ride this way. It helps to drink an electrolyte drink for people to
balance out your needs also ! Happy Trails ! - Heidi
