This was precisely the case at the Sugar Valley ride in Nebraska last
weekend. The last 1 1/2 miles into camp was all paved roads, so they set the
finish line down a county road that was dirt a mile and a half from camp.
They blocked the road with vehicles when they saw riders coming, so it was
all very safe! I was worried about having to ride my horse the extra
distance back to camp before getting my completion, but at least we had a
safe finish line! :-)
