Re: [RC] Info on Top of the Rock and Pyramid Challenge rides - Maggie MieskeHaven't been to Top of the Rock, but have been to Pyramid Challenge. It's a great ride. Well managed, great atmosphere. The trail gets a bit boring at times as you repeat loops (or at least we did when we were there), but it's nice, though the grass and mud can be slick when it's wet. If it rains expect nasty humidity, but there is water out on the trail. They don't allow pit crewing outside of the staging area because of the park and people, etc., but it was never a problem. It has its own hazards and its good points. I'd love to go again when we finally move back to the U.S. Lecturer English Department/Foundation Program Qatar University P.O.

I have a horse ready for her first 50 and am considering these two rides. I am in NE Ohio and they are both a similar distance from me, and fall in a good time frame. The Pyramid challenge ride sounds lovely - I have been to the Horse Park on a number of occasions and love the area, and the idea of riding through the park and local farms is appealing. I'm just a little concerned about the atmosphere at the ride, with all the other stuff going on at the same time. I have no idea what the terrain is like at Clark State Forest. This is not a horse that needs a super easy ride as her first 50, but I don't want to overface her either. I will likely be coming solo and will not have a crew, so that is another issue to consider. Water on trail and vet checks in camp or ride management taking items out to the vet checks is preferred. Thanks in advance for any comments about either of these rides.
