(For those joining this thread in mid stream, this is the OD ride as told
by
Jayel Super - now on leg from V4 to V5)

When we left the Little Fort Vet check, I could tell Stagg wanted to move
out
since the other horses were only about 15 minutes behind.  With a new shoe
on I felt fine.  And since Charlie and I had been taking it easy we were
ready to go.
So we cruised up the gravel road to the Fort Powell campground.
Then lots more rocks where Charlie (actually on orders from Sue) insisted
we slow down.
Then we cruised down the mountain into Pickett Springs.

V4 to V5 was fastest 10 miles of day (about an hour).  Went straight into
P&R.
Really had to chow down as  Sherman's gap was next and 20 minute holds do
not
give much time for serious eating.

None of our buddies behind us were into the check point when we left.

============================================================
Many of the endurance riders in our top echelons of competition, now and in
the past, exemplify the 'common man' not the hierocracy. It is this
possibility, this chance to come to the fore, that makes endurance
competition of the Aussie/American type so much more desirable to part of
the world.
