Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

Endurance related because we all need to save valueable resources in order to do endurance rides.  Otherwise the land gets eaten up by developers.  The trails are fewer and less far.  There is no land to raise our horses.  There will be no more grazing land.  I think the picture is somewhat clear.  Most of all what a great summit to find alternative, cheaper, fuels.  Translation:  Yes, I can afford the gas to get to the ten rides I want to do this year!  That is all endurance type good!
