When we were riding endurance
consistently, Lud used to ride his horse to work...5 miles away...put him in a
corral made of stacks of lumber. and at the end of the day, ride up Waddell
canyon and take a long route home. That way, he put in about 18
miles. He could make it to work in the morning in 20 minutes by horse
or 15 minutes by pickup. On horseback, he took cross-country routes, by
truck...the road. Good way to condition!
