Kathy,

I think you have a good idea of what is going on for a lot of us. I do have a horse ready for Tevis. I was planning on deciding for sure after his last 50 at Mt. Diablo which he finished with 11 A's/3B's despite 104 degrees and very little shade. I gave him his week off, then did a couple moderate rides in the altitude up- in Tahoe to get out of our smoke here in Auburn. He is so very ready.

It is almost a sin not to ride him on Tevis. I had planned to do our "tune up/last big ride" today. There is no way I would let him get his respiration up in this air. Maybe if we get some clearing in the next few days???

Are us Californians slacking?  It seems like everyone just wants to be low key this year.  July 4th was a big ho hum for a lot of us.  I wonder too if the fires make it hard to do any training, people are stressing about the fires, and Tevis runs through some high fire danger areas?

 

I don't have a Tevis horse, I don't even have a viable endurance horse at the moment, and I now ain't riding that much even after having a pretty busy riding spring.  My lungs ache too much.

So where are the riders from CA and NV? What's the normal split for out 
of state vs. CA and NV?

This does seem quite low even with other rides the same time.
