Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

Okay, Ride Campers--I'm a slow starter.  I've been
more or less lurking on this list since '98 or '99,
finally going to enter my first ride--the Lake
Oroville Vista Nov. 6.  I've only been to one ride,
this year's Tevis Cup.  (I tend to do a lot of
research before diving into things.  When I was
pregnant 28 years ago, I immediately went to the
library and checked out 10 books about pregnancy.  At
one office where I worked the partner said, "Give it
to Sharlene, she'll research it to death.")

Is there anyone out there who is willing to give me
specific practical pointers on this ride?  I've read
the archived stories of the first ride in '99.  Hoping
things are better for a first-timer.  I'm about 5
hours from Lake Oroville, so it looks like a good
choice to me.  The terrain will be similiar to my home
environment.  My "crew" is virgin, though, as am I,
and anything on or off this list would certainly be
welcomed.

The area I have for training rides is "to die for," we
have everything that you could want from 2 miles
climbing 1000', to long rolling stretches of country. 
I have a lot of mental information, but no one to
check with on what I'm doing with my horse.  

Thanks in advance--the folks on this list may be
cantankorous but I'm impressed by their helpfulness
and caring for the horses.
Sharlene
