I recently attended the NWLD Ride in Mount Vernon WA to ride the novice 
loop and crew for my friend, Katie Glowaski, who was riding the two-day 
100.  I am somewhat new to the endurance world, but of all the rides I have 
attended in the past few years with Katie, I can say without a doubt this 
was the best ride we have been to so far. It was obvious from the beginning 
that a lot of thought, time and engery had been put into getting this ride 
together. Directions to ride camp were correct down to the very tenth of a 
mile; the location was great - not too far from civilization.  Even though 
we were still "close-in" the trails were technical and challenging, and 
very well marked! The vets and assistants were friendly, providing feedback 
and encouragement with a smile.  All of the volunteers were so friendly and 
helpful you could not help but feel welcomed.  This ride had the feel of a 
family reunion rather than a competive event.  The ride manager even helped 
sponge Katie's horse after she crossed the finish line.  There was no end 
to what the ride managers would do to make this ride a success. They even 
had the Honey Buckets pumped halfway through the weekend! Wow - what service!!

So, Joe and Joyce, if you are reading - a huge THANK YOU from me and Katie 
for all of your hard work and continued smiles throughout the weekend.  We 
look forward to seeing you guys next year!
