Bob, never said it wasn't. Re read my post. After
doing 100s and doing 25s I sure know the difference and they certainly are not
the same effort wise. But miles are miles, they add up the
same, if one does a 100, they add up faster. All I tried to point out was
to quit the whining for Pete's sake. We all do this sport because we love
to ride. PERIOD. Some of us can do 100s and that is wonderful
and amazing and deserves mucho credit. Some can only do 25s and that is
amazing for them. I have seen great 100 milers, I have seen lousy 100
milers. I have seen great 25ers, and lousy 25ers. Take each person
for what he or she can do on his/her ability. No one fits the mold.
A lousy 100 miler doesn't mean that all 100 milers are lousy. Same with a
25 miler. Same with a 50 miler. Same with competitive folks. We are
all out doing the sport that we all love to do to whatever ability we are able
to do it. I am no better than you, you are no better than I. But we
are both better than the rider that doesn't prepare the horse and then runs like
a raped ape whether 25, 50, or 100. Jeanie
