Ride and Tie

"Ride and tie" is a strategy often used in trail running or adventure racing, where two or more participants take turns running and riding on a horse or bike. One person runs while the other rides, covering ground faster together than if they were solely running. The runner tags the rider at predetermined points, allowing the rider to rest while the other runs. This technique enhances endurance and speeds up travel across varied terrain. It fosters teamwork, as participants must coordinate their movements, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining a common pace.
