[RC] Old D 75 the most anti-Morgan weather ever!! - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Mary Coleman caf@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I am not sure where to begin when I tacked up Saturday even early it was warm. I figured it would be a nice ride to Fitchetts and a trailer ride in. This weather was extreme even for the Arabians what was I thinking? How good a big old Morgan built like a Belgian get thru? Easy one helluva crew that would NOT give up and all the ice available in Front Royal!! I challenge any of you who crew(and God Bless you all) if you think it was work to get the Arabians thru try a Morgan! My crew of Patty Stedman, April Dobson, and Judy Cottrell not only had Hawk pulsing without failing the CRI they would sponge him the whole time we were in at the holds. Thanks ain't even good enough. This was the first ride ever I was concerned about finishing on time. At Liberty with less than 5 miles to go and only about an hour to spare I was ready to quit. Heck we were not doing 5 mph in the light how could scramble up the last climb in the dark and be in on time? Hubby Charles said I don't care how but at least try. At 10:15 Natalie Muzzio also on a Morgan along whom I had rode with all day attempted it and succeeded finishing in 3rd and 4th place with 10 minutes to spare! How could I have ever doubted Hawk? He knew he was on the way in and he took charge. We know have completed the 50/75 and the 100 next year we shall do the 25 and be done by dark which actually was the goal for this year.. THANKS Old D what a ride what an experience great job kudos to all the volunteers Morgan Power!! mary c =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
