Hello All,  

Our local ride club is sponsoring a Fun Ride April
19th.  This is a non-sanctioned ride to raise funds to
benefit the Trinity Trail expansion.  Our goal is to
extend the current trail system along Lake Levon to
where we can host a real AERC ride in the near future.

If you know someone who is interested in trying out
endurance riding this would be a good ride to get
their feet wet.

Best Regards, Pete

Ride Notice:

The Trinity Trail Preservation Association is
sponsoring "A Taste of Endurance" fun ride, April 19th
at the Brockdale Park Trailhead in Lucas, TX. 
This is not a sanctioned endurance ride but an
opportunity to come out, have fun and get a feel for
what an endurance ride might be like.  You will able
to choose from three different ride lengths. 16 miles,
10 miles or 6 miles so you can customize the
experience to your and your horse's conditioning. 
The ride will be limited to the first 80 riders to
register. Dr. Chuck Kerin, DVM and some of his staff
will be on-hand to conduct vet checks typical of what
one might encounter on a sanctioned ride.

Junior riders, 14 years old or younger, will be
required to wear a helmet and be accompanied by a
rider 18 years of age or older throughout the ride. 
Everyone will receive a completion award and there
will be awards presented for the top ten to finish.

The entry fee is $25 for those who pre-register and
$35 to register the day of the ride.  The entry form
can be found on the TTPA website,
www.trinitytrailriders.org and it may be printed,
completed and mailed along with a check made out to
TTPA to TTPA Secretary Pat Martin, 4040 Avion 
Drive, Wylie, TX 75098. Pre-registration will make
signing in the day of the ride much easier and faster.

Gates will open at 7 AM and registration and a
pre-ride vet check will begin at 8 AM.  There will be
a pre-ride meeting from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM.  At 11 
AM, the 10 mile and 16 miles riders will start out on
the course followed by the 6 mile riders at 11:30 AM. 
Meals will be available for a $5 donation 
beginning at 1:30 PM.  A post-ride meeting will be
held at 4:15 PM with the presentation of awards.

For further information, contact Ride Manager Betty
Van Houten at bjhouten@xxxxxxxxx or via telephone at

Lucas is northeast of Dallas, TX.  From Dallas, go
north on US 75 to the Bethany Drive exit in Allen and
go east.  Take Bethany Drive through Allen into Lucas
(about 5 miles).  Counting the light at the expressway
exit, you will go through eleven lights.  Bethany Road
changes its name to East Lucas 
Road along the way.  At the eleventh light, the road
name changes to FM 1378 (Country Club Road).  About ½
mile after the eleventh light, when the road 
makes a sharp curve, you will see a stop light and the
Lucas Food Mart and gas station on your left.  Turn
left here on FM 3286 and go less than a mile to
Brockdale Park Road.  It turns off to the right. There
is a brown park sign marking the turn.  If you get to
the bridge over Lake Lavon you have gone too far. 
Follow Brockdale Park Road around to the trailhead. 
You will drive through three 90-degree turns.  The
trailhead is at the 3rd 90-degree 
turn on the right and is bordered by white pipe fence.
If you get to the boat ramp you have gone too far.
