Ashley Wingert tells us all about her adventure riding in the Tom Quilty Gold Cup, Australia's premiere 100 mile ride.    Dr. Lucian Spataro Jr., on his book "The Long Ride".  It is a beautiful chronology of a place in time when three horses and a team of people were doing the “right thing” against very long odds; their perseverance is even more inspiring today, twenty years later.  In Karen's training tip she talks about negative splits, riding the first half of an endurance ride slower than the second.  Listen in...
