9 Hours in 3 days
And I am more than toast. TH was 'in the saddle for 4 hours'. I only wanted 3 but the powers to be decided to test me. It was probably only 3.5 hours of riding, maybe closer to 3. I was out there longer than I wanted to be, way longer. I did end up catching the tail of a ride, the "Reaper".

I use either a meat mallet, or a
