[RC] pCup: Italy Brings Young Riders - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: John Teeter johnt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== The 2005 version of the HH President's Cup is 7 days away. Steph and I are still here (though I hear the weather in Oreana is pretty conducive to riding ...). I digress. http://www.endurance.net/2005PresidentsCup/ http://www.eiev.org/ <-- offical ride site. will have news and images and features about this invitational event in Abu Dhabi UAE. There is a web cast schedule. There is even real-time ride updates delivered right to your cell phone (we'll see how that works - and I've talked to the cell phone guys re: maybe being able to stream short video's from my phone to the net on the day of the event -- a long shot:) The most recent news items: (http://www.endurance.net/2005PresidentsCup/info.html) 2.10 - Experience and Youth from Italy 2.9 - From New Zealand 2.9 - German Riders 2.8 - The 2005 British Riders 2.7 - The Course Description 2.7 - List of Invited Riders 2.6 - The 2005 Australian Riders 2.6 - A Look back at 5 years of the Cup 2.6 - EnduranceNet Coverage of the 2004 Cup 2.6 - 2003 Coverage of the Cup 2.5 - Event Sponsors Introduced There will be more info on each of those who have been invited to participate. Basically @30 riders from 9 countries are coming. Added to that are an expected 60 riders from the UAE, it will be a large start list. But the event itself, thus far, is much different that what we experienced at the WEC in Dubai. Much more personal, much more focused on the riders and their horses than the grand/gala of the spectacle (well there IS some grand/gala, but it's of a different sort!). Steph is out riding with Grace and Madiya today (had to get back in the saddle). She'll check in later, but this is the kick-off:) johnt (Plus, I wanted to test the guest post thing. seems that Steph doesn't get to see them - some deeply buried hidden filters that I must have put in place long ago ... might explain a few things:) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
