Man on bike vs man on horse - which is faster?
"darryl" wrote in message
... There are a number of endurance races for horse and rider in Australia and overseas. The typical event covers 200 km over two days (100 km each day). The horses are restricted from going any further each day and must pass a number of veterinary inspections along the route to gain approval to continue. Yeah, I've seen coverage of one of these events on TV. It's very big in the middle-east and I think they were saying it was Aussie horses that are the current leaders or at least rivaling the Arab horses. But, from what I saw, the speed they were tavelling at would _easily_ be exceeded by a person on a bike, probably a runner too. hippy |

I am conisering all types of horses, terrain and bikes. E.g. Mountain bikes over rough ground on dirt tracks or a buitumen road with the horse running on grass alongside. David Steve Hogg said yesterday at the Sydney bike show that an endurance runner (i.e. not even on a bike) can outrun a horse in terms of distance covered. If this is true, the horse would have no hope against a bike, provided the terrain was fit for cycling on. Unless the horse's name is TRIGGER!! hehe DJ &roo |

: well, any distance under 5 km the horse will win. usually... but.... over that and the horse will die trying to catch up. when was the last time you saw a horse race or event over 20 km. You need to get out more, I have seen horse "events" go for weeks, riding across country, albeit not often galloping all the way... -- Trevor S "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." -Albert Einstein |

That I'd like to see !! |

Man Vs Horse has been run over a 22 mile course in the UK for the last
twenty odd years. A runner has never beaten the winning horse yet, despite a substanatial prize being offered. Only in the last few years have cyclists beaten the horses as a better class of cyclist found this event. The course is a tough cross country course with some serious hills. -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
