Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

Zini and I went to Eastern High Sierra Classic at
the weekend. That has got to be one of the most
mind-blowingly beautiful rides ever.

Predictably, I managed to take tons of photos, most
of them while moving, so then I had to go back and
get rid of about 50% of them because they were blurry
or I'd missed the subject totally.

Anyway, the resulting photos are at:

complete with full-colour captions. I rode with Judy
Long and Nick Warhol and we had lots of fun and
dawdled in a the back of the ride, so there aren't
many pictures of anyone else - we never really *saw*
anyone else...

The ride was won by Tracy Cary on a bay horse (apparently
not her normal horse, although I know nothing about either
horse) and BC went to Cathy Richardson and Fifi (who just
won Tevis).

There were 30 30-milers and 75 50-milers.

Weather was in the 70s (bliss) and warm enough the night
before the ride that I slept with the trailer door open
and just the screen pulled. The mosquitos just next to
camp were copious and mean.

Wildlife on the trail included garter snakes, kestrels,
white-tailed deer, water bottles, EZ boots, and cows.
