Subject: [RC] Main Divide 100- PS Region

 

You know, every rider that considers themselves an “endurance” rider should accept a challenge like the one offered through Main Divide every so often.  You will learn many things about yourself and your horse by riding a ride like this whether you complete or pull early. The things that so many of us seem to value in endurance rides today  like # of completions, mileage milestones, wins, placings, points, doable courses, manicured trails or trimmed trails, awards, frills, courses that can be finished in X # of hours, etc. just loose their significance when you ride a challenge like this and are successful.   It is really a neat feeling when the “competition” is really the trail.   It puts endurance riding/racing into perspective and redefines accomplishment.
