Reverse transcriptase is the viral enzyme responsible for making a DNA copy of the RNA genome from a retrovirus. As such, it is technically known as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This is opposite to the usual flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower. 1  Easy: Under 10 mph. 2  Leisurely: 10-12 mph. 3  Steady: 12-14 mph.  Moderate: 14-16 1  mph. Brisk: 16-18 2  mph. Vigorous: 18- 20 3  mph. Strenuous: 20-22  mph. Super Strenuous: 22+ mph.
The stepping pace IS a lateral gait but it is made lateral in the pick up of the hooves. The right hind and right fore leave the ground together making it lateral. The hind sets down before the right fore which creates the uneven four beat gait or broken pace rather than the 2 beats of a pace. In the stepping pace a rider can feel (even minimally) a slight side to side motion in the hips, this is due to the lateral pick up of the hooves and legs on the same side.
