[RC] two of my heroes: Maggie and Julie - Cindy Collins

Julie, I have the maps and written trail description from the 1989 ROC
ride (it was also the 1985 ROC site) and the trail descriptions.  There
are some differences, but they are relatively small.  First, we lost the
ride base camp you were able to enjoy for the ROC.  I miss it every year. 
In that process, we lost about 5-6 miles of trail going into and out of
the camp.  The current camp connects to the trail about two-three miles
out from that original camp.  (This is one reason Kathy Arnold and I have
been concerned that the ride was short.)  The ROC had three 45 min vet
checks plus two 20 min vet checks.  The ROC in 1989 was run
counterclockwise and this year we ran clockwise.  The main variation is
the section where we lost the Adelaide Trail and had to re-route a piece
of that trail-somewhere between 7-10 miles, I believe.  Otherwise, the
trail is fundamentally the same.  I would have loved to have seen you and
Maggie riding the exact trail we were on this year and we how you would
have handled it!  Love and admiration, Cindy
