NEXT TIMED TRAIL RIDE SUNDAY, SEPT. 12 @ YVH CLUBHOUSE (INCL. BAREBACK CHALLENGE II)
Entries are $15.00 per rider. A maximum of three riders is allowed per team. More than one team of friends may ask to start consecutively. Only two ribbons or prizes will be awarded per team.
Teams may start any time between 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
If you do not have a teammate, you may match up with another team or single rider when you arrive at the timed ride
Teams of 2 or 3 riders are timed on a marked trail through woods and fields, rolling hills, flatland and across streams. Your team's time will be compared with a pre-ridden time. Teams coming closest to this time in each division will win. The route will vary and feature dozens of jumps, all with go-arounds. Ribbons will be awarded to the first six places in each division. After completing the ride and recording your time, you may repeat the trail ride for pleasure at no additional cost.
