Yes the two -100's in one day was the question, I was pretty sure I remembered it that way, but any how I am getting tons of great history on the subject, Not everybody is answering via ridecamp, but the info all seems to be about the same. Keep thinking Annie G.

For really ancient history.... Courtney Hart I believe was the first one to
actually do two 50 mile rides in one day... just to test the system... no
one said anything, so as Trilby's coach he encouraged her to do it, then
Les followed suit, but,... maybe it was the other way around... that's been
a few years, memory's getting fragmented. There may have been others that
did this... but I personally know of those two going at it.

I think the original question was whether someone had done it with a 100
miler.  Did someone ride a 100 miler on one horse, then again the same day
ride a second horse on that same 100 miler.  I just don't see how that would
be possible.  A 50 you can understand, but a 100?  (Makes me legs shake just
thinking about it!!! Yikes)
