RE: Doncaster Renegade Ride

The ride camp for the Doncaster Renegade 50 is about a 1/2 mile from my house. This year there will still be the 25/35 mile ECTRA rides and a 50 mile endurance ride. The terrain here is basically flat with a few dips and rises. It is primarily wooded single track trails with some gravel forest service roads and mowed edges of fields. There are bridges to cross. Super nice ride for a novice horse. Not a lot of access to water so water troughs are placed strategically along the trail. I understand that there will be four loops with all vet checks back at the main camp. The food is excellent and the management very experienced

Has anyone been to this ride, which in past years was a competative trail
ride only? I want to know what the footing and terrain is like (flat or
slightly hilly?) I have Shadow entered in his first 50 there, we are from a
VERY flat area. We did go to Fair Hill and will go again at least one more
time for hill work, and have been working in an old borrow pit. I just don't
like surprises. Thanks
