[RC] Happy Jack Ride - Joe LongI attended the Happy Jack ride near Laramie, Wyoming this past weekend. It was a great ride, well managed, beautiful trails and a nice day. Plenty of water -- too much, in fact, the ride site had been under a couple of feet of snow a week before and there were some tough bogs. I only rode the first day, they had 36 start the 50 and I believe more than fifty riders starting the 25. I'm sorry but I don't have results. I had a great day. Sanshra lost a shoe on the first loop but an Easyboot Epic took care of that. Sanshra and I were First Place on the 50, and Sanshra also won Best Condition. They gave out some "unique" awards, and the First Place award was really neat -- a plaque with a fossil millions of years old! There are photos of the ride at http://amii.smugmug.com/gallery/607102/1 (it's got the wrong date, it says 5-18-05 but it should be 6-18-05). We plan to do the Shamrock next, probably two days, and then the Big Horn 100! -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
