[RC] Longstreet's Charge - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

Finally have consensus between all the parties and I've finalized the date for 
the return of Longstreet's Charge.  It will be held May 24 (Saturday) Memorial 
Day weekend. Yes, I know you might save an off day if it was on Sunday but I 
won't have a ride on Sunday and next year that won't be Memorial Day so I 
haven't taken over that three day weekend. :-)

This will be the first time Longstreet's Charge has been held for quite some 
years. It was a popular ride amongst those who do not care for racetracks, or 
even paved roads. >g< The terrain is rugged... if you want a mountain, we've 
got one. Some think it's a hard ride but it's more of a *slow* ride. The 
completion rates are excellent simply because the terrain slows *everyone* down 
now and then and the horses are actually stressed less. For instance, in 1998 
37 started the 50. 34 finished. In the 25 31 started 29 finished, the only 2 
who didn't were over time. 41 started the 50 in 99. 31 finished. 42 started the 
25, 38 finished. Better stats than many "easy" rides. :-)

The Chattanooga Arabian Horse Club that used to run the ride disbanded so I am 
running this with the help of Joe Harris (one of the former managers). June 
Jordan (another former manager) has offered to help so most of the key players 
will still be involved...though now it's mine & Joe's money up front. (scary).  

Hey John, how do you feel about *rides* having a "My-Endurance.net page?"  I 
can set up a page for the ride and I'll post some photos...pronto if there's no 
complaints.

I promise you. This ride will make you feel like you actually went 
somewhere...not in circles around a track on groomed footing!
