Re: [RC] Heroes/Hildago - rides2farThe Long Riders are into Life Changing experiences, not just one day feats and victories and losers markers every 100 yards. I "Loser's markers?" Hmmm...wanna swap licks...should I call them the "Road Rider's Guild?" Let's not . There is plenty of difference between our type of distance riding and theirs though. They have people who have taken a 20,000 mile treck across roads from South America to Alaska. We have Trilby, who has ridden over 25,000 miles of TRAILS...enjoying the terrain a horse was meant to travel on. I'd personally rather ride circles in every bit of National Forest than try to figure out how to get my horse across an expressway bridge every other day. To each his own. What they do is more visable to passers by. Not many people see what we do but I'd rather feel a horse's muscles stretching out at a trot a little without having to worry about my house bouncing off my packhorse. I'd rather hear his hoofbeats on dirt and listen to his breathing than listen for the sound of an approaching truck and watch for bottles in the ditch I'll have to get over in. Just because we don't ride in a linear path doesn't mean we don't get anywhere. It's certainly changed *my* life. P.S. It's gonna take some killer "swimmies" to get those horses across the Atlantic in that round the world ride.
