RIDE ITINERARY updated 05-14-2024
Please review the ride itinerary as it was updated recently.
NOTE: If you are arriving on Saturday, and have booked an electric spot, please contact the campground as THERE COULD BE double booked spots for the CTR & END riders on Friday/Saturday – Saturday/Sunday. CTR riders leaving on Saturday after the ride must have their site cleaned and vacated by 3:00 and endurance riders coming in on Saturday cannot get into their sites until after 3:30 . We apologize. The campground is under new management and was unaware that CTR riders might stay for the supper.
CTR riders, if you want to stay for the supper, we can move you into the upper field and you can tie your horse to the trailer.
For those of you riding both days, there is no issues for your camping spot.
