[RC] Sand Hills SC ride date changes - Mary HowellAttn Southeast Region Riders: At the Endure for the Cure ride held at H. Cooper Black State Forest in South Carolina last weekend, ride management explained how the Sand Hills Ride in mid-March each year falls during tax season, a difficult time of year for two of the ride management team who work as tax accountants. Based on feedback from the everyone there, ride manager Patsy Gowen wants to spread the word that although that the 2-day Sand Hills ride will be held as planned on March 21-22, 2009 (although they would appreciate extra help if anyone would like to volunteer for ride secretary duties!) beginning in 2010, they are planning to shift their management of the 2-day ride to November (same timeslot as current Endure for the Cure ride). Patsy wants to encourage another ride manager to take over the mid-March Sand Hills timeslot for 2010 and will be glad to lend them a hand in doing this. She can be reached at 803.329.0077 or firefoxrun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx For anyone not familiar with the Sand Hills area, there are 6 separate permanently marked loops ranging from 13 to 24 miles. Very little repeat trail is needed even for a 100 or two day ride. The H. Cooper Black rental rate will increase to $1600 per day in 2010, but this facility has tons of amenities - an arena, barn and lots of pipe corrals for your horses, two bath houses, a heated building with kitchen where the ride meetings are held and electric and water hookups for rigs - and usually a really big turnout for both days. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
