I AM FINDING IT HARD TO BELEIVE THAT 
OUR FELLOW ENDURANCE RIDERS...
ARE TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF A TPIPLE
CROWN. IT IS 3 DIFFERENT RIDES OF
DIFFERENT DISTANCE.EVERY RIDE GROUP,
INDIVIDUAL GROUP,OR PERSONAL GOAL IS 
COMPLETLY ACCEPTABLE.OUR FEELINGS OF 
FINISHING RIDES ARE ALL SELF REWARDING
IN KNOWING WHAT IT IS WE SET OUT TO DO.

JUST TO ANSWER ONE SPECULATION OF"SANDY
FLAT,AND WARM TRAIL,"FOR THE NEVADA ALL STATE
TRAIL RIDERS:SQUARE NAIL 50, STARTS AT 4300 FT
ELEVATION, CLIMBS TO ALMOST 8000 MORE THAN ONCE.
THERE WAS STILL PATCHES OF SNOW.
THE NASTR 75 STARTED AT APPROX 5000 FT AND 
CLIMBED TO 8000 FT. JACKET WEATHER T-SHIRT 
WEATHER AND JACKET WEATHER.
THE VIRGINIA CITY 100 STARTED AT 6000FT.
DROPPED TO 4000 FT. CLIMBED TO 7000 FT.
BACK TO 6000FT. DOWN TO 4300 FT. UP TO 8000
FT. DOWN TO 6000 FT TO 5000FT. BACK TO 6000
FT. AT THE FINISH. THE TEVIS, THE BIG HORN,
AND OLD DOMINION WOULD BE A TOUGH TPIPLE CROWN
I HAVE PERSONALLY ACCOMPLISHED TWO IN ONE YEAR.
    THE NEVADA ALL STATE TRAIL RIDERS STARTED
THIS EXTRA INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE THE RIDING
OF DIFFERENT DISTANCES AND AWARD THOSE WHOM ARE
LUCKY ENOUGH TO FINISH ALL THREE IN THE SAME YEAR.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF ROCKS.
            SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL,
                                MATT
