Re: Determining conditioning distances

Hi All,

     An excellent tool for determining trail distance is a measuring wheel.  I
bought one years ago for use as a park volunteer to measure trail distances
for maps.  It cost around $100.00.  We use it all the time to settle bets,
etc.  Have found that most hikers and riders underestimate distances!   A
local ride manager has a big one and had it rigged up to be pulled by her
horse.

Happy Trails!
