BPBC should enter this next year I think.

Also, does anyone else thing that that This Photo is stonking and sums up FaT's week nicely? :)

Thats based in the town I used to live in - it was a great event (although went downhill slightly when they aloud bikes as well)!

I know someone who regularly competes in it and often beats quite a few horses.

Apparently, horses don't have the stamina to move fast over extremely long distances.

Does that mean the scene in Gladiator where he rides a horse from Germany back to his house in Spain is fake? He'd have been better off running!

Of course it doesn't mean that most people would get close to beating a horse over long distance - just some people. The person I know who does it competes in lots of marathons and usually beats 3 hours. For most people - a horse would still be the quickest way of getting from one place to another over long distance
