[RC] Malibu Ride- Thanks to Pam & Don Bowan & the Volunteers ! - Vchorsegal
Hi All-
The weather Gods were with us at Malibu this year. The fog lifted early to allow us to enjoy a 78* day with a perfect breeze. Good thing, as there are many hills on this course. This was a Region 2 Championship Ride this year, and may be next year also. Pam & Don Bowen did a fabulous job managing everything, and were just the best ! The trail was well marked, and I have never seen so many water stops in a ride in all my years ! There were many wonderful volunteers and Vets, and a high completion rate. Hopefully Paramount Studios will allow us to do it again next year. I was happy to finish the 55 with 30 minutes to spare on my young guy, Racethewind, who will now reflect upon the need to rate himself, but actually looked great all day, partly due to the abundant water and hay stops ! I was pleasantly surprised that our team of 3 won the fastest overall time award ( all had to complete ) as two of us were really pokey ! I was even more pleased that my halter was "Heidi Helly Blue " !
