This year was the 25th anniversary of one of the most popular rides in the West region. This ride is very popular for good reason too – it’s in incredibly beautiful country (the Sierra’s) plus it’s got a lot of fun technical trails. The 50 mile ride consists of two loops. The first one is [...]

I rode Bo today, maybe 10 to 12 miles with Jackie and her horse Tank. We had a really great ride. I still have not managed to find the time to finish writing up about our Tevis adventures. Though, suffice it to say we had a really great ride and since then Bo has been [...] Oh man, the anticipation and thrill of getting to go over Cougar Rock was one of the highlights of riding the Tevis for me this year. I so enjoyed getting to go up and over Cougar Rock with Bo! I felt safe, secure and knew he was going to be sensible and that he would [...] My actual “moving” average speed on the Tevis was 6.07 mph. During the 24 hours of the Tevis Cup there were 2 one-hour holds (vet checks), and eight vet checks total. The majority of the vet checks do not have hold times so you have to ride so that you have time to allow for [...] Here is my rider query report from the Tevis Webcast. I was rider #49 – it was a lucky number I think! We kept a fairly steady pace throughout the ride and lucked out getting through the vet checks without ever having to wait. It may look like we spent more time getting short distances [...] new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: ‘profile’, rpp: 10, interval: 6000, width: ‘auto’, height: 300, theme: { shell: { background: ‘#333333′, color: ‘#ffffff’ }, tweets: { background: ‘#000000′, color: ‘#ffffff’, links: ‘#4aed05′ } }, features: { scrollbar: true, loop: false, live: false, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: ‘all’ } }).render().setUser(‘tevisnews’).start(); This will likely be [...] It took me awhile to get these posted, because I had to go through a lot of photos. I have narrowed them down to only 265 in the album. There are a lot of photos here – from all four days of the ride plus trail marking and trail work. Rider photos were taken by [...] I’ve been offline for awhile – no internet or cell service at Strawberry Fields in Utah. I turned everything electronic off, except for the GPS – what a great time! I would have gotten home sooner but decided to stay in Winnemucca last night after getting a blow-out on the right hind trailer tire (right [...] Does it look like we are having fun? Steve Bradley always gets the best photos! Yesterday I started writing about the 100 at Owyhee Fandango but only got as far as getting ready for the ride…. So now let’s start at the beginning of the ride itself! I gave myself an hour to get ready, [...] This is just the pre-ride prep stuff…I’ll get to the actual “ride” writeup tomorrow! Till then, I did at least get an album up with more than 100 photos so you can see what the trail was like – beautiful ride! After riding Chief in the 50 on Friday I had to really fight the [...] I had originally planned to go up to Idaho and ride the 100 on Bo. Then I decided, what the heck – might as well throw Chief in the trailer and ride him one day as well. So that’s what I did – planned on riding the Friday 50 on Chief, and then take a [...] This was my third time going to Hell’s Kitchen Canyon and Bruce Burnham (RM) thought it was either the 30th or 31st year for the ride. They do a great job with this one day 25/50 mile ride in Gunnison, Utah. Dave Rabe and I both decided to stay around after Mt. Carmel and help [...] Here are some of my ride photos from last weeks’ 5 day Mt. Carmel ride! I had a great ride, three days on Chief and two days on Bo. Results are done and posted on the XP Rides website. We had a good time at the Color Country ride this past weekend. I took both horses and rode Chief two days and Bo one day. The weather for the first two days of the ride was really spectacular. It was pretty good on the third day too but the wind came up late in [...] |
