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!!!

Subject: [RC] Your Central United States 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. 
 
Try it, you will like it
