The camp location for the upcoming 2 day Death Valley Warmup ride (December 12 & 13, 2009) will be at Coso Junction. Coso is about 30 miles north of the turnoff to Ridgecrest on Highway 395, if you are coming up from Highway 14. Click here to see a google map. You can use it [...] From the May 2006 issue of Endurance News By Cyndee Pryor with contributions by Connie Creech Thirty-six years ago, at the age of 40, Al Beaupre was diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol, and told to change his ways. “Neither of us could jog one mile!” recalled Jackie. “We bought 20 acres in the mountains [...] I didn’t know it yet, but this part coming up was going to be the best part of the ride, and the worst part of the ride for us. I always try to look at everything as positively as possible. For example, I knew that we had 22 mile left to go. Why, that’s not [...] Click here to download the PDF file of the five day ride results. Sorry it took me so long to get it posted – had a lot going on the last couple of weeks. If somebody has a correction or spots any errors, please let me know To learn more about XP rides or to [...] I was on…the horse. We were trotting down the trail! The sun was coming up and I had a big grin. Tigger did too, I could tell. We were on our way. I was getting excited. This was for real and I was able to breath a sigh of relief that I was on the [...] I went to the ride not knowing if I was really going to get to ride or not. It’s complicated. You see, Dave Rabe was supposed to ride White Cloud at the AERC NC 100 the week before. Turned out that White Cloud had other ideas and the day before that ride he got sweaty [...] This is from Amy, who crewed for me (and a few others) and did a GREAT JOB! I can’t believe she stayed up for me to finish that late. It was sure nice having help on the ride, and I really appreciated all of her help and so did Tigger! Thanks Amy!!! Now she has [...] Had to share this video of the cemetery in Virginia City. Turns out some at the finish line of the VC 100 this weekend saw a ghost…or ghosts. Actually, I think it was the same ghost they saw more than once. I’ll try to post more on this later, if I’m allowed <g>. Anyway, enjoy [...] I also have an album posted with more photos. Click here. I think more people should try riding 100′s, they are so much fun! The night riding is what I liked best about the ride, loved seeing the city lights of Reno and riding through the wild horses. I just wish it wasn’t over so [...] I just had one of the best rides of my life on Tigger on the Virginia City 100. This was the 42nd year for the ride. I had so much fun and loved every minute of it. Tig did the ride last year with Dave. This year I asked Dave if I could ride Tig [...] I think I’m ready for the VC ride this Saturday. Everything is ready – entry done, check; trailer and tack packed, check; rider, check; clothes, check; horse feed, check; crewbags packed, check; people food and drink, check; crew for ride, check. Horse, check. What am I forgetting? Actually, I’m not even bringing the horse so [...] Will be offline for a few days to be with family. I AM FREE Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God has chosen for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To [...] To celebrate, here is Chief kicking up his heals after he passed his final vet check on day 5. He and I had a really great ride. I rode him on days 1, 2, 4 and 5. Bo got to do the middle day. I have tons of photos from all of the days of [...] |
