The Third Annual Owyhee Tough Sucker No Frills Endurance Ride
Bring your own Frills! We'll have a safe, well marked trail and good ride vets. All loops will be out of basecamp at our ranch.
25 Milers: will do the 15 mile loop on the ridges above Pickett Creek, and then the 10 mile loop on the rim trail. You'll have one 40 minute hold. You'll probably start at 8:300 AM.
50 Milers: You'll do a 15 mile loop on the ridges above Pickett Creek, a 25 mile loop crossing Hart Creek and riding the washes and jeep roads south of Triangle Rd, and then finish with a 10 mile loop along the rim looking down on Hart Creek. There will be multiple creek crossings for water if the creeks aren't too high. (trail is subject to change depending on weather and water levels!)
You'll have 2 holds of 40 minutes each. You'll probably start at 7:30 AM.
75 Milers: You'll do the 15, the 25, the 25 again, and then 10. We'll have a 'stop and eat' station halfway through the 25 mile loop with hay and water in case your horse needs fuel while you're out there. We probably won't put many glowsticks out, so be sure to bring a head lamp if you plan on riding slow. (There will be 15 hours of ride-able light so you should be ok unless you're reaalllyyy slow). You'll be following a well-traveled trail the last 10 miles so the horse will know the way.
You'll have 40,50,40 minute holds (probably) and will (probably) start at 6:30am.
There's some grass out there on the trail. Footing will be 'not too bad'. A fair amount of sand wash, not too much rock, some good going too.
Olin Balch DVM and Robert Washington DVM will be be vetting.
