For what it's worth, I never had a crew for any endurance ride I did except
Tevis. I never even thought about it. I had done many years of competitive
riding and was just used to doing everything myself. It is very easy. My very
first endurance ride was a 50 mile ride and I think I did 4 or 5 of
those (before 1984 so the rides are not in the records on-line). Just go
out and ride. Actually you can scare yourself if you over analyze everything,
haha. Just ride and everything falls into place.
