I thought that I would take an idea that I saw on
another newsgroup and post my favorite rides in 2004:
Number 1 - Big Horn 100 - What can be said about
this ride that hasn't already been mentioned -- 100 miles, great horse, great
trail, great hosts, great crew.
Number 2 - Old Selam - Old Selam is a club ride
held in the mountains above Idaho City. We had new trails and it was a
special, but wet, day. I rode my wife's horse Max in his second
50.
Number 3 - High Valley - Another local ride on
great trails in the Idaho mountains. It was very wet and muddy and the
ride hosts used a tractor to pull the rigs INTO the campsite. Sometimes it
took two tractors to pull the rigs out of the campsite.
Number 4 - Idaho Spuds - Leslie and I rode this one
together. Two years ago it was our first endurance ride and it is still a
special ride for us in the Idaho mountains. It was Max's first 50 and he
finished in the top ten!
Number 5 - Costume day at Oreana - Even though it
was wet, the costume ride is always special.
