Re: [RC] Best First Hundred? - rides2farBiltmore. You 're on private property so if you end up alone you don't worry about running into freaks in the woods, super vets to monitor your horse, and it's well marked after dark. They're always having a prom at the restaraunt and it's really cool riding in the dark at 11 PM hearing the music drift over the estate. Also, riding along the French Broad river with the lights of the winery above you rates in the "magical" catagory. Another nice thing is that all the awards are handed out at breakfast the next morning so you don't feel like the fifty's had a ride & party and all left while you were still on the trail. It's also nice that there area always lots of entries so your chances of being left alone are lower.

Not necessarily the easiest (tho that might help!), but the ones that are "special" or appealing to horse and rider, or magical in some way. I'm in the NE, so of course I'm leaning toward a ride in this neck of the woods, but rides in the MW or SE are not out of the question.
