I'm looking to pre-ride the
Tevis trail this year. Hopefully will be a competitor next year.
Tentatively looking at the weekend of July 3 - 5 and riding approx. 30 miles
each day from start to finish. Robie Park to Robinson Flat, Robinson to
Foresthill, Foresthill to Auburn. Saw that AERC just posted a
50-miler July 3rd from Devil's Thumb to Auburn.... Hhmmm, may do that
instead. Can always ride the high country later if
necessary.
Anyways, can some riders more
experienced with the trail give me some tips and advice? Is the above
three-day plan feasible? Are there naturally occuring water sources in
those segments for the horses to drink from? Any potential hazards?
Anyone know how I can find out what the river level will be like at that time
for crossings? I have ordered both the participants guide and the trail
guide (written by Hal Hall) from the Tevis store. Any other maps, etc that
are a must have? Is it true that the trail has
mile-markers?
Any experienced riders willing
to join us for some or all of our journey? Lots of questions but very
eager to finally be taking the first steps of a 15-year
dream.
