Re: [RC] [RC] Race (was: FACTS)-now XP rides - Barbara McCrary

XP was the brand that they put on the Pony Express horses, so Dave just used it for his rides; it's a lot shorter than spelling out or saying the entire name. It's also very catchy and easily remembered. Dave's original ride actually ran on 250 miles of the original Pony Express trail. It's much harder to do now, as some of the route has been paved. Sigh.....

Robert,

XP was the acronym for Pony Express. The modern version of this is a series of rides put on by Dave Nicholsen, a vet and long time endurance rider..If you get a chance to do one..GO..you will love the atmosphere!

For the benefit of those of us new at this, what the heck is an XP ride. I keep seeing it pop up everywhere and just hate feeling dumb!
