Well, I didn’t “quite” finish it, but the Bluebonnet 100
at LBJ Grasslands last year was very nice. I DID get to see the whole
trail. Lots of wildlife, a few “little” hills, well managed,
well marked, GREAT vets, (Thanks, Dr. Jim Baldwin) and lots of nice people,
many who went the “extra mile” for us. Lots of grass on the trail,
good footing. I hope to go back this year.

(whining) But I don't want a *real* ride...I wanna survive
it! :-) Why doesn't anybody ever make a list of "Most Do-Able"?
I won't say "Easy" because a 100 is never easy, but how's about some
of the most rider friendly courses & managements...you know, the ones
that are the right length, well marked and have water and good vets? It
also helps to be in neighborhoods where hoodlums don't sabatage markers and you
have a chance of being out of cliffs and deep forest and onto maybe open dirt
roads in the dark. If I want to encourage someone to do a first 100, what's one
ya'll would recommend?
