Re: [RC] Readiness - Maryanne GabbaniI'm also unsure of whether I can handle 50 miles/80 km...but I've boxed myself into a position where I HAVE to try.This may make me look totally crazy, but I'm giving a 50 mile ride in November because I really want to do one, and no one else is going to make one here. Am I sure that I can ride it? Heck, no. But I'm going to do my best. These days with the heat not falling below 100 F except after 8 pm at night when everyone is too tired to ride after trying to work all day in the furnace, the horses are not working, I'm not riding. GAAAA. I just keep telling myself that September is coming, my clients are coming back from holiday, and the horses and I will get in shape whether we like it or not. And after all, I know my trails backwards and could ride them in my sleep. It's my guests that I will really need to take care of because Egyptian technical ain't like technical anywhere else except maybe Malaysia. At least we have no tigers, but the local wildlife could be challenge enough. Doubts are normal. If you didn't doubt, you probably shouldn't be riding because you wouldn't be responsible. Just do the best you can and enjoy the day. That's what I'm going to try to do. I hope everyone else enjoys it too.
