Trilby Peterson. Ok you guys go look up her
record. You won't believe it. Check out 1986 when she rode 7700 miles in one
year. She did 7 days of 50 milers in a row, then the very next day went
and did Tevis and finished. Then did another 100 miler the next weekend. Now
that is just bloody amazing. Now lets just call her Superwoman! This was back
before riding tights, sheepskin and ibuprofen. Many times she did a 50 miler
followed by a 100 miler the next day, weekend after weekend after weekend,
hardly any pulls at all. 108 rides that year with 28 of them being 100 milers.
1989-64 rides no pulls. 1990-80 rides no pulls. 1991-65 rides no pulls. And
that sort of thing goes on for many years. I honestly don't think we have
riders like this anymore. If we do, then they deserve a big gold medal for
being so tough and having the most amazing endurance. My hats off to you
Trilby. I've looked up lots of records over the years. Yours is one of the
most impressive.
