I know this is nuts---but I think of road riding in equestrian terms as "English" and mountain bikes a "Western"....anyone else see the same pattern?
Don't know you but we have to get together! Live in Cincinnati and show dogs which require horses as I show dogs in hunting events! Showing dogs also requires you to own a camper so you can be relaxed and rested for the weekend! We frequent Ceasar's Creek in the pet loop. I ride a Trek 1000, bf rides a Madone and best friend also rides a Trek. My very first ride was the MS150 left went from Wilmington to UD and back. Doing it again! Any way to get on your team? Or do you have to work at FedEx?
