Recreational trail riders tend to view endurance riders as a bit of a motley crew. They seem to ride too far, too fast. They wear funny-looking clothing and seem to prefer brightly colored tack that looks as though it was made for a drill team.

They’ve learned valuable lessons along the way – some painful, others expensive, and all as a result of mistakes they don’t want to make again.
