The weather was great. Cloud, sun, cloud sun. Good thing. There were a few very round and fuzzy horses. There were a few minor glitches. Some people who were entered did not show which makes the records less than great when the ride secretary is out on the trail. We had the usual number of people who entered the 25 and then said they were riding the 50. They did not read their form and checked the wrong ride. I am not clarivoyent and don't know which ride they really want to do. But it all worked out in the end.

Heather Bergantz JS Raisa
