Let me tell you 50 miles is a LONG, LONG trail ride. I know because we have been fixing and marking trail since Sunday. Today Troy and I left the driveway at 8am and never got back until almost 8 pm. Yesterday Troy and Todd put in a similar day. Come to think of it, Troy has pretty much living in Stanley since Saturday. The good news...it is all done except for the first mile (which is also the last mile). I am going to bed, getting up in the morning and getting my horse, gear, tack etc ready. I hope Spirit remembers what I look like. I hope I can ride 50 miles. The reality of the distance really sunk in today.
We like to ride everywhere from a nice trail walk along the beach to training and competing in a 50 mile endurance ride.
