[RC] Old Dominion Shoes and Encouragement - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Lynne Gilbert gmchagall@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Two years ago I rode the Old Dominion 100 in aluminum eventers in the front (with pads) and steel shoes in the back and finished with the same shoes I started with. I think he travelled better without all the weight on his feet. I always have at least one spare set of shoes for all feet with my crew because I have lost shoes on that trail in the past. It is a wonderful ride - my absolute favorite! If you have the chance to ride it you should do so because the scenery is spectacular and the trail challenging. The OD offers a well prepared top notch veterinary staff, farriers and great ride management. To cross the finish line at the Old Dominion 100 is an absolutely undescribable high and a sense of accomplishment like I have never known! For real insight into the essence of the ride and trail, read Tom Site's (goearth) commentary. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
