[RC] 2003PAC - The Opening Ceremony - johnt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxEveryone loves a parade eh? This one has a smoke the bear: http://www.endurance.net/international/2003pac/images/theCeremony/pages\IMG_ 1071.html It had lots of horses: http://www.endurance.net/international/2003pac/images/theCeremony/pages\IMG_ 1069.html It had lots of excitement: http://www.endurance.net/international/2003pac/images/theCeremony/pages\IMG_ 1080.html It was very colorful with all the teams in full form and the horses all wondering why people are so strange. But all in all, everyone loves a parade. The day was spent mainly with tune-ups, team photos, another round of shaking things out to find who is ready to run and who may have problems. Team meetings, Chefdahkeep(sp?) meetings and such. oh yes, the news - The ride start will be at 6:00am saturday (PDT) rather than 5am. The first loop is quite technical (read that twists and turns and such) and running 100 horses in the dark was seen as not such a good idea afterall. That will mean a later finish time (which now should be maybe @9:00pm - so an hour in the dark for the front runners. The footing should be much better with the rain. (which btw is over now I think. It blew out this afternoon for the most part and ALMOST showed us a full view of Mt. Adams at sunset. I'm thinking sunrise tomorrow should be clear!!! I've uploaded a bunch more images of the day. Have fun. jt (who, I'm afraid has missed the Karrot Fashion Show while doing this techie stuff:( http://www.endurance.net/international/2003pac/images/theCeremony/pages\IMG_ 1047.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
