[RC] Save Our Trails ride thank-you's =) - CTRider1085

I just wanted to make a public "Thank you!" to Suellen, Jaymi, Debbie, and the AVTREC group for putting on a wonderful ride this weekend!  For a first time LD'er, you guys made me feel welcome and answered my questions with big smiles.  The trail was lovely with beautiful scenery - I've never seen Joshua tree's that big - and everybody at the checks/water stops were more than willing to help with anything.  Thankyou for a great ride and if there's a "2nd Save Our Trails Ride" next year, I'll be there!  Aside from ride management,  I was impressed and overwhelmed by the camaraderie that was extended to include an "unknown" LD rider on her first ride (and obviously not riding an Arab); all of my previous assumptions about endurance "people" where thrown out the window and I've been hooked! Vicky, thankyou so much for letting me hook up with you at 10 miles - you may not have known it but you taught me some really important things about getting into/through the vet checks and provided wonderful conversation!  Carol (and Peter!), you're assurance at the beginning and whenever I saw you out on trail helped me in keeping the nerves at a bare minimum.  And to the lady who was parked next to me - THANKYOU for letting me borrow your extra stethoscope!  I really, really appreciated it and I can't believe that I don't know who you are. :o)

 

Ride safe ~
