[RC] re: FITS - Mary Howell

Thanks for the FITS report Connie!

I am SO EXCITED for Lisa Green, who successfully tackled JD's 100 last fall.
If she was on the same grey mare, her horse looked GREAT at the 70 mile mark
when I stopped by share some encouraging words.

Lisa, her husband Andy and son Hunter are regulars at Old Dominion events.
I'm hoping she enter our first OD 100 on the new trail in Orkney Springs.

Several of us were up there this past weekend scouting the new trail,
figuring out crew directions and taking photos of vet checks and key
points...despite the wind and rain, we got some great photos that will be
added to the OD website soon.

This is a very doable trail with lots of moving-out dirt roads and plenty of
challenge..the climb up the Devils Hole Road (midpoint in the ride for both
50s and 100s before the 100's split off and head into WV) is a good 5-6
miles of steady uphill grade, so if you're coming to the OD in June, get
some hill work in beforehand!
