One thing missing, at least in this part of the country is the fact many of the rides had between 75 and 100 miles of trail. Now so many rides have loops that are shorter and are repeated. To me, and I am sure many of the older riders, this is boring and tedious. A deterrent to the longer rides.
That's a very good point, Bob.
I love 100 miles of trail. It is truly a wonderful way to ride...each mile a different mile, but a "forward" mile toward the end.
Loop 100 rides seem to really weigh heavily on horses, especially younger horses....and with people, well the opposite seems to be true...weigh heavily on older riders and otherss seem to like the "convenience" of looping back through basecamp every couple of hours.
