Poker ride
| May 11, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
A poker ride is where you ride a designated trail trail, picking up playing cards or tokens that will later be exchanged for playing cards. However the ride is set up, you end up with 5 playing cards and…..a poker hand! Top hands (and the worst hand) are called and you get to pick a […] more
Poker Ride Try #2 and a BIG thanks
| May 8, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Tomorrow I head off for yet another poker ride – so far there no chance of rain for this one – in fact it suppose to be over 80 degrees! This poker ride is held at Camp Far West, which is also the site of an endurance ride held over Labor day weekend. The poker […] more
Start 100 Pushup challenge
| May 7, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I did my max test of pushups to kick off the 100 pushup challenge. I managed a measly 20. Which isn’t too bad considering I haven’t been doing them regularly. I think the most I have ever been able to do in the past was 35-40. I didn’t squeak every pushup out I could – […] more
Wild West Update

Tedious Tuesday

Wild West – 20 days
| May 4, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Wild West 50 is only 20 days away! I must admit I’m getting a bit “cocky”. I have the fittest horse I’ve ever had who is in beautiful condition. I am hitting my running mileage goals for the first time in 2 years. AND I feel my riding is better than ever before! What could […] more
Rain and more Rain
| May 4, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
On Saturday I dragged my poor unsuspecting sister out of bed to join me on a morning trail ride. I should explain. On every trail ride that has threatened rain that I have taken her along, has cleared up just in time for the ride. I’m sure she thought her “sunny” optimism was going to […] more
