Re: [RC] [RC] Cancelled rides in the PS - Laney Humphrey

Lori, multi-day rides are already the fastest growing type of endurance ride. I'm sure cost/days of riding is one big factor.

Thanks, Ginger.
I wonder, and worry, that this could be a trend in our sport. It costs too much to go, once you add everything up...gas, entries, anything special you buy for the trip, and any extra fees like campground fees that may be included.
I am lucky, no kids to have to worry about, and a husband that is very supportive of my riding and traveling. But I also know that for others it isn't that easy.
I wonder if multidays will become more popular due to the need to travel only once, for the same amount of miles?

    from the
    ride makes it too unaffordable. Thank you for your concern. Ginger
