The name for this kind of ride is one I learned from a long-time endurance 
rider..."Walky, Talky."
He forgot to add the "Drinky" to it.
I have to chuckle over the kind of ride that occasionally takes place around 
here:  Good stout horses, walking all the way, plenty of beer, catered 
lunches on the trail, and dirty jokes told around the campfire.  I can't 
bring myself to criticize, because we all have our preferences.  That kind 
of ride just doesn't appeal to me.  Of course, for those rides, women aren't 
invited, anyway.  It's strictly a man's outing.
