Follow up to Tevis post
| May 13, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have gotten a lot of feedback from my past post (which I think – ironically – was also my #100 post. I didn’t realize that at the time of posting!). I started to respond in the comments but then I kept typing and typing and typing…..Here’s what is going to through my mind right […] more
Tevis?
| May 12, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Even though I resolutely promised myself NOT to talk about it – it looks like the Tevis cup race may be on for me this year. I was planning on doing the Virginia City 100 in September. The feedback I’ve gotten regarding the VC100 is that it is a tough ride PHYSICALLY with the potential […] more
Poker ride
| May 11, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |

I just learned that there is a good chance that I will get a four day weekend for Memorial day – which means I can ride 2 days at Wild West without taking vacation! Yeah! I e-mailed the Ribleys and it wasn’t a problem to tack a Saturday ride for my already-registered Sunday ride. So […] more

I admit it was sheer laziness that kept me from sharing the camel picture of Farley from the last post, so without further adieu (I’m almost positive that that is the WRONG way to spell the word I’m trying to use) – I received my bracelet made of Minx’s hair from hairloom treasures last night.
