Yes elevators would be
great. Yea,... That 25......... NW is a long ways for me, but when I
can do a multi day its worth the drive. interesting that the comp rate is higher
for 100's than 5 days. Annie

100.
Annie, if you want to do 75's the NW region seems to have a lot of
them -- I counted 18 on the ride calendar this year, and they also have
three 80 mile rides. They seem to offer the most variety.
There are only 3 75 milers in the W region, there would have been more but
those rides were cancelled.
I think it would be nice to have an
elevator from a 75 to a 100. That would be good, you could ride the
first 75 miles and then if you think you feel up to it, go for the last
part, you know the 25 miles that everybody thinks is so easy to do
<bg>.
A few years ago I ran a bunch of figures on riders and
horses who were going to multidays and doing 100's, and found that you
have a much higher chance of completing Tevis or any other 100 than you do
of completing a 5-day ride. Personally, after doing 5-day rides on the
same horse, I don't view 100's as the same challenge anymore. But
that's just me, I still love doing all the distances and enjoy every ride
for as long as it lasts :-).
