So far, only 84 entries. And I'm the only crazy person from the east coast area. Seeing my name on the list really makes me think just how nuts I must be! In...
I'm hoping to head out to Tevis in probably 2 or 3 years! Good luck this year! I wish you the best. Hopefully in 2-3 years when I'm...
Give me 10 years Kyle, I be through college (...We can only hope) and we'll trek out there together!! We'll be the two east coast boys!haha Steven Kyle Gibbon...
I have started the ride at max entries (2004, 50th anniversary of the ride, 250+ a few) and I have started the ride with about 180ish entries. I did not...
I am trying to remember how many riders were entered by this date last year..The ride was later, but I am pretty sure we didn't enter until around July 1st....
Curious that if they need 200 riders to break even that they would lower the entry limit to 200, which is what they've done. Don't be intimidated by the huge...
The Sunriver @ Mt Adams Long Distance Challenge is coming along beautifully. Stephanie Irving has been working her tail end off to help make the trails...
This site is put together by some mare owners (dozens) who have had horrific side effects from the Vaccine. It is worth a look, and to pass it on to mare...
I read the JR "Big Ride training" article in June EN this week. I know RC is going nuts over the 90 mile training week suggestion (among other things). Not...
April, Frankly, I wouldn't do the hard ride right before a 100. Mainly for fear of injury. Nothing is more upsetting than getting right up to the main event,...
I think all the static on ridecamp was caused by the young writer having written the article as if the program she followed is the one everyone must follow to...
I am going to second what Jody said, just light riding right before the ride. With that said, I also love to have a 50 mile ride 2-3 weeks before the 100 and...
Thanks for the advice on the riding the couple weeks before the 100. I'll stick to my original plan. :) As for which 100, think Southern Indiana, mid-October....
With a mere five 100s under our belt, I'm with Lynn and Jody on this one. And hey, on a related note, I'm having a little internal mental debate on a related...
Patti this is funny...I had the same thought about taking Zorro to Genesee, then going to VT...? Steven Patti Stedman <procompsvc@...> wrote: With a...
... I'm no veteran, but I'm sitting here trying to think of what *I* would do in your shoes (hard, since I don't know Ace and don't know how he does at...
Hey Patti, Ace has a great base---do the fifty---you are a smart and careful rider and perfectly capable of making the right call for "your horse". All of my...

No Swanton 100 for me. I got kicked just above the ankle this weekend (40 miles into a 50 - couldn't even finish the stupid ride) and have broken my fibula and...
Oh Lucy, that's awful! Please take care of yourself -- there will be other 100s. You've only got a couple of ankles. --Patti ... From: Lucy Chaplin Trumbull ...
Dang, Lucy...I hope it heals up quickly and cleanly!? And I hereby give the Black Banana Award to the owner/rider of the horse that kicked you.? :( Dawn ... ...
Oh my Lucy ! What happened ? I hope you heal quickly and well. Lee The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the...
Aw NUTS!! And of all the rides to miss! Hope you heal quickly. Here's a bright spot to think of, considering how obsessed some of us are about bringing back a ...
Owww, Lucy, Do you have a hard cast or one of those foam and velcro ones? I can't imagine having to pack up etc with all that pain, though knowing what a good...
... No, it wasn't her fault, really. We'd been riding together all day and I knew that the mare was kicky (she'd had a go at us earlier in the day). We were...
