[RC] Owyhee 100 - Steph TeeterMany many thanks to the riders who braved the Owyhee floods (desert??), and to the volunteers who make these (all) rides possible. Lynn Nicholson and Sue Nance (Galloping Gourmets) put together a fantastic dinner Friday night - three different types of homemade lasagna, a wonderful tortellini soup, salad, bread, carrot cake, chocolate-zuchinni cake, deadly brownies - it was all wonderful - thanks you so much Lynn! The trail on Saturday was just about as perfect as it gets. A little slick in spots in the morning, but otherwise ideal footing, and better as the day progressed. A little gloomy in the morning, but got better all day, breezy, sunny by mid-day. The 100 was won by Christoph Schork in 10:30 - turtles finished in around 15 hours. It's a more technical course than the Arabian Nights ride, more elevation and some tricky sections, but a little more interesting as well. And it was green!!! I'll probably add an FEI 100 to this ride next May - should be a reasonable course, doable in the 13:20 required for COC, but still a little more challenging than the flat Arabian Nights course. Thanks again to everybody that supported the ride, in every way.
