Re: [RC] music - maybe not the best idea - Sandy Adams
just a comment here - a few years back, I was happily jogging along with my music in my ears... did not hear the rattler letting me know I was too close until it struck- fortunately at THAT time I had tow good ankles and was able to jump out of the way. I never jogged in the park again with phones. I DO wear them whe I hike but not on trails like that and not when I jog - well I don't jog - I look like Quasimodo now...
I know there are people out there that may ride with music (I know there are joggers), but if you are listening to music you may not hear the horses coming at you up the trail, the person yelling at you about a hazard, or the bicycle riders, mmm or bear. My personal commentary is that we have too much noise in our lives and just quiet is a good thing. Now with that said I certainly have used music to get a rythym with my dressage/flat work. The best was a metronome but nah you wouldn't want to listen to that on the trail LOLOL.
