Ah, the east-coast riding season is upon
us. You west-coasters have the joys of having a lot of deserts to
provide ample terrain at all times of year, we on the other hand, have
snow, mud, and muck that prevent us from having too many rides during
the wet, cold, winter months. However, spring is fast-approaching and I
will begin a regimen with Q in short order to start prepping for rides
this season. (As soon as ski season is over. And as soon as I return from my plethora of spring trips...one of which is a riding trip though...more on that later!)
April 26 - Old Dominion No Frills ride (plan to do 30 miles)
June 8 - Old Dominion (hope to do 50 miles)
August 3 - Ride Between the Rivers (hope to do 50 miles)
I'm really excited about the prospect of these rides. I
have access to a trailer I can use - all I need is a truck capable of
pulling a small two-horse bumper pull (though it might be a 1-horse, I
haven't seen it yet and Steve was uncertain the last we discussed it). I have one
truck-possessing friend show interest in hauling and camping already, so
hopefully I can find enough people interested that I can network around them and guarantee myself a way to get to each of those rides. (I will pull locally with my 4Runner, but
only on the flatter areas within 10-15 miles of the barn, no mountains! I
don't want to kill my vehicle!) The two in VA are about 2 hours away, and that's nothing! The other is local. So, all options I've presented myself with are very feasible to reach as far as travel goes. 
OD is on my bucket list. I crewed two summers ago and loved it. I'm sure you have a crew all assembled already, but if not, let me know and I'll try to come down :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a blast!
ReplyDeleteIf I keep Kolijah maybe I'll work on getting him in shape and taking him out to these races... if that's the case if you'll split gas we can take my truck. It will haul a two horse bumper pull no problem. :)
