I tend to post the big trots, stand the rough ground trots and sit the
easy trots. <g>

I still get up and out on really steep up and rough terrain. I don't feel
good staying down but I'm not completely out of the saddle either.

>Do you change your riding style during a 100 miler?
Haven't done one so I don't know. The longest I've done is a 2 day 100+
mile ride in NATRC. (years ago before the distances changed.) I rode the
same way both days.
