I'm also unsure of whether I can handle 50 miles/80 km...but I've  
boxed myself into a position where I HAVE to try.

This may make me look totally crazy, but I'm giving a 50 mile ride in  
November because I really want to do one, and no one else is going to  
make one here. Am I sure that I can ride it? Heck, no. But I'm going  
to do my best. These days with the heat not falling below 100 F  
except after 8 pm at night when everyone is too tired to ride after  
trying to work all day in the furnace, the horses are not working,  
I'm not riding. GAAAA.

I just keep telling myself that September is coming, my clients are  
coming back from holiday, and the horses and I will get in shape  
whether we like it or not.  And after all, I know my trails backwards  
and could ride them in my sleep.  It's my guests that I will really  
need to take care of because Egyptian technical ain't like technical  
anywhere else except maybe Malaysia. At least we have no tigers, but  
the local wildlife could be challenge enough.

Doubts are normal. If you didn't doubt, you probably shouldn't be  
riding because you wouldn't be responsible.  Just do the best you can  
and enjoy the day. That's what I'm going to try to do.  I hope  
everyone else enjoys it too.
