RE: [RC] Land useage for rides - Mcgann, BarbaraBob,
I'm sure there are going to be people on here who can
figure it right down to the inch, but I can ballpark tell you that you would be
looking at a lot more land than this....we had a 500 acre ranch in Colorado and
I had a loop trail around the perimeter....it was approximately 3-4 miles.
I could ride it in 45 minutes at a walk. 1000 acres might
get you a 10 mile trail with some creativity, but then you would have to
have the riders do it 5 times. Here in the Boise, Idaho area we have
an area that we have put rides on in that is approximately 30,000 acres and that
allows for 2 or 3 different loops out through the
area.

From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob Fletcher Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 15:03 To: Ride Camp Subject: [RC] Land useage for rides I would like to ask Ride Managers how do they find and get useage for the
land to hold a ride.
How much land does it require to put on a 50+. I have done 50's that
were with only one vet check that we looped through, not my favorite, and then
the ones that are one huge circle, much better. From a Ride Manager
standpoint, how do you choose where to put on your rides?
If, hypothetically, I were to want to put on a ride how would you direct me
towards selecting the right type of property? Would I need to look for 100 acres
(smaller ride of course) , 500 acres 1000+ acres? I would like to know more
towards the 50+ distance rides.
