Thank you to all vets and volunteers it was a grand success
Funny thing about this endurance thing that I have been forced into believing and experiencing .....it's addictive ,it hurts,and it's time consuming however when equated in comparison to the ratio value of friendship,relationship and family value ......it's aaaaaallllll worth it .
The close of the WCW was both a heart break and a relief the experience of partnering up with Dana ,Mark, Brandi was one that I would do all over again which excites me to say WCW ...TWO ...IT'S ON..... bigger and better the lines of communication have already been opened throwing ideas and additions down the gauntlet...... goody goody gum drops.
Of course this event absolutly could not have happened without the unselfish effort and energy of all of our volunteer family some more than others however still all were a catalyst in the making of a perfect ride .
A few folks proved that experience far out weigh energy ........stepped up to complete that extra mile ......I have no fear in saying without them I have to admit this ride would have been a bust ......Ruth "The Rock Star" Moorby was an absolute superstar managing the times,card's and riders ....Lana "The Boss" Halisheff was absolute paramount and once again rock solid in the vet check and pulse area ....for a little lady she packs the punch of a heavy weight ..... Roger and Karen for the relentless follow up on the trails to ensure that they were marked again and again and of course again ...... This list could go on and on .
In closing .....to the jack ass who decided to ride through camp on a motorcycle at 2 a.m. and put our ponies in danger .....I bet you never expected to meet my wife and the ability to throw a wine bottle .....I hope it hurt ...small bit of advice .....next time wear a helmut ...kinda made your stunt short lived didn't it.....Tootles
