[RC] Tevis entries by state - Tx Trigger2004 results listed riders states. That year, they started 244 horses, as it was the 50th anniversary ride. 182 where from CA or NV. 62 were from "other". But some of the UT and ID and OR riders I'd guess do not have as far to drive as some who live in the Southern most part of CA. Looking at those traveling a longer distance, we have one from FL, two from TX, one from WI and one from PA. I'd still say fuel prices are the number one reason. Tevis has never been a "normal" 100. Many who enter, have no desire to ride any other 100, and will travel a great distance to give it a try. Some riders are probably waiting to enter, as they knew it would be a lower number of entries this year, with no waiting list to worry about. The entry fee went up $50 on June 27th, but for some, because of the refund policy, they might feel the extra $50 is worth it, in case they had to cancel their entry for some reason. **Refund Policy: Ride entry withdrawal requests received at the Tevis office on/before July 3, 2008 (and horses pulled at check-in) will receive a refund, less a $60 non-refundable administrative fee, 30 days post ride. No refunds for withdraws after July 3, 2008 or for no shows. Horses unable to start because of injury or sickness occurring on/after July 3, 2008 and fully documented by a vet, may receive partial refunds at the discretion of ride management. Deadline for refund of stall reservations is on/before July 3, 2008.** Jonni =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
