We've been a little quiet here recently, so I thought I'd throw this question out there ... What kind of ride/rest schedule do you keep in the last couple of...
CANCELLED --- CANCELLED --- CANCELLED 2008 Tevis Cup Ride has been CANCELLED Based upon our face to face meeting with the US Forest Service today, the Tevis...
I hear ya on the undecided part. :o) I took both mules to Shamrock ride & did the 55 on each, last weekend. (2 weeks out from Big Horn.) I didn't ride real...
My post-broken-leg-surgery check up was in Auburn this afternoon and on the way home, we came through the canyon and I took a photo of No Hands Bridge. I...
I went to the SOS/Tevis Head Volunteer meeting at 6:30PM. The smoke was so thick it was eerie. A friend said it looked like the end of the world. BTW, there is...
.. or at least for those with a good diesel fund and some extra time. :-) Come to Vermont on July 19th! Magical ride with the runners, and gorgeous New...
Debbie? Where are you? Did you set off for Tevis? or are you detouring for BH100? Thinking of you. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *...
Debbie left for Tevis several day ago. She was there when she got word it was cancelled. She is head or should be there by now to the BH 100. Teri ... From:...
New 100-Mile RidersDebbie called me a few min. after the notice was posted about Tevis being cancelled, and that she was going with Plan B, which was Bighorn....
Hey folks. If you're looking for the perfect "tune up" ride for the October AERC National Championship, or want to move up from the 50 mile distance on a...
Go Debbie! Big Horn is a challenging ride with some breathtaking scenery. The year I rode the 50, I was mesmerized waiting in the dark at the start, looking up...
YAY!!! Congratulations! We will expect a full report shortly... =) ... -- ~ Crysta "Those of us who finish near the back, make the rest of you look good."...
She's right, Cecily. Two weeks is plenty of rest time -- a report should be forthcoming. :-) Pine Tree is one of my favorites. Sorry we weren't able to make...
I'm especially interested to hear from those of you with winters that make this a common occurance... I've been planning on doing the Swanton 100-miler on 8/16...
Crysta, if it's any consolation, that's exactly what I'd do. (Or at least you have the comfort of a similarly-minded fool.) Trust me, he'll be fine. I think...
I vote for Prozac and skipping that last 25-30 miler. You have lots of base. I would work on short, fast hard workouts to build muscle strength and aerobic...
Send me a photo too so you can be our new "cover girl" on the group site! =) ... -- ~ Crysta "Those of us who finish near the back, make the rest of you look...
I was also hoping to do Swanton if Sonny did well at Tevis. Instead, he's had an unplanned additional 3 weeks of rest due to the heavy smoke conditions. He'd...
Kim Fuess wrote a great article on "Tapering" in Endurance News several months, maybe a year ago. I'd go digging for that issue. Super information, talking...
I was so happy I completed. I didn't realize it had a public speaking component. I thought when I made sure my horse was put up safely for the night I was...
Yes, in order to "raise the bar" you need to create stress with short intense workouts, then a day or two of rest to heal the small tears in the muscles. It is...
I called the APEX folks and since the clinic starts this afternoon at Rojek's, my bet is that she is already there. Here's the link to the clinic information,...
I have found that since my horse has a great base (2500 CTR miles, 300 AERC) I don't hammer on him as much as I used to. He does best with some LSD mixed in...
I thought that the strategy for raising the bar was different than increasing aerobic capacity. We're not looking to build more muscle or be able to go faster,...
I know the info was on the ECTRA list serve a while back. Thanks, Char Jewell Every endurance rider knows more about electrolyte therapy for horses in...
The skies are completely blue today, first time in 24 days. It gives me hope and I'm going to ride as if we're going to Swanton and see how Sonny feels in a...
