Re: RC: derby ditch riders

[Linda Cowles <linda_cowles@mentorg.com>]

Ohhh - these folks have my sympathy! At last years Gold Country ride, it
was suppose to be nice weather - warm, even, and it started raining
***COLD*** rain shortly after the start of the ride... I was dressed for
dry, sunny 60's and if it hit the 50's, it wasn't on my part of the
trail!

I want to hear the stories too!

Gold Country volunteers all rallied to support wet wet horses and riders
- there were horse blankets at all stops and at lunch they set out horse
mash, hay, BROWNIES and COOKIES (!! - am a chocohollic), and poured hot
coffee, cocoa and cappuccino nonstop... We were all extremely impressed
- and grateful!
