[RC] [Guest] 100 Milers - Ridecamp GuestJohn Bass jbass@xxxxxxxxxxxx 100 milers are fun and if I can do one anyone can. During the 2001 ride season I asked Marcia Cunningham to spoon feed me thru the Californio's 100. She is a heck of a horsewoman and a real sweetheart of a lady. I would suggest for the first timer they find a lady like Marcia. I was saddling my horse in the morning and thought, "Well I think I'll do four LD's today." That took care of the mental part. Six weeks later in July I traveled to Greybull Wyoming, my hometown, to ride in the Big Horn 100, I can't remember having so much fun riding through the country I explored as a kid. Then in August I went to Tevis, I failed to complete but really had a good time. My horse was great but I was totally unprepared, that won't happen again. It was a learning experience and I did get to see 56 miles of great country so it wasn't a total loss. People who don't try 100 milers are missing out.
