-- then ---


Join the 2009 Very Virtual March Maddness Race

Start Time: Sunrise - 01March2009
Cut-Off: Sunset - 31March2009

Current Ride: VV March Maddness

31 Days of Endurance Maddness! Ride as many horses and as many miles as you possibly can or want to for the month of March. Log your miles on the virtual vet card to win a t-shirt for your efforts!
To register for the ride, join this group. You will, in time, receive an invitation to your vet card. Don't loose it as it will be used for all the rest of your VVRides.

Track logs can be upload by adding a reply to the TrackLogs discussion and then pasting the resulting URL into your vet card. Tracklogs converted to GoogleEarth.kmz files are prefered

If you don't really understand the above, then you might consider joining a team. Teams have secretaries that take care of you on the ride:)

You can keep a blog of your ride on your my-endurance profile page (My Page). Some examples are:

* I still need to make a list of past VVRide blog posts (any volunteers want to do it??)

The Very Virtual Ride Rules will help you understand the competition rules. In overview, they are:
*I need a Picture of a Napikin with the Rules written on it*.

Remember, the start of the VVMarchMaddness ride is:

Sunrise 01Mar2009 - any miles after than, you should log to your vet card

Sunset 31Mar2009 - (Generally there are 48 hours post finish to get everyone to log their miles)

have fun:)

Current Rules


Well, we're 1/3 of the way through the ride. We have 62 riding partners and a total of 1832+ miles logged. Not bad for a virtual gaggle of endurance riders!!

So --

1 - there are 15 of us that have not yet logged any miles!! One goal for the next 10 days is to get EVERYONE engaged!! So you each should pick a 0-miles friend and help them get started!!

2 - We've decided that if you go to an event sanctioned by some organization, with a specific number of sanctioned miles, you get to count the sanctioned miles and you must also show your completion of those miles in some way (image of vet card or pointer to the ride results on-line etc. You may also OPTIONALLY, provide the track-logs of the event even though they may or may not agree with the sanctioned miles.

3 - If you're riding in a sanctioned event and get pulled/eliminated, you still get to count the actual miles ridden in the event BEFORE the pull occured in the VVRides. We still have need to "pass the virtual vet-check", so if you are in a 3 loop (phase) event, and fail the vet check at the end of the second phase, then you get to count the 1st loop only, likewise, if you get pulled at the end of the third loop, you get to count the first two successfully completed loops. etc.

Otherwise, It is truely amazing to see the enthusiasm with which you all are moving down the trail!!! Ride FAR and Ride WELL!!!!
