RE: [RC] Your Central United States Tevis Alternative - Katrina Mosshammer
Thanks Paul. We'll miss you this
year, but we'll be rooting for you at Tevis, and the other CT folks as well. I
don't think I have cell coverage up there so I won't be able to check my email
for updates. :-( So I guess I'll just have to wait until we get home Sun. night
to see how the CT folks did.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF
YOU!!!

Tevis Alternative
So there you are..... Sitting there and dreaming
about doing the Western States Trail Ride (Tevis) someday. You and/or your
horse aren't ready to do it this year, so what else can you do on July 28th if
you can't go to Robie Park?
That's a no-brainer. You can ride the Mid-Summer
Nights Madness in Oklahoma. There will be heat, and hills (just like
Tevis). You will ride a long ways in the dark (just like Tevis). With all the
rain they have had lately, they can't promise dust like in most years. This
ride is a great prep for those in the central part of the country who hope to
do Tevis some day. You can practice 50 mile rides almost any weekend of the
year, but a 50 mile night ride in the heat comes along more seldom. Wouldn't
it be better to develop your night lighting and night riding
skills now instead of at the 75 mile marker on the Tevis
trail?
These are very nice folks putting on a relaxed
fun ride. I did it last year, and completing it gave me the confidence
that led me to my first 100 this year and now on July 28th a trip to
California to try Tevis. If we hadn't done MSNM last year, we wouldn't have
done the Old Dominion 100 and signed up for the Western States Trail Ride
this year.
