Virtual Tevis Cup - 100 Miles in 100 Days
Ellen and I signed up for the fourth consecutive year. As long as our horses--and ourselves--stay sound, it is a very easy thing for us to accomplish. So why do we do it? Because it is fun. We get to join the group online and follow their progress as well as post about our own. It is nice to be part of something that involves people and horses of all walks of life throughout the world.
We get to accomplish milestones as we post our progress that shows where we are if we were riding the actual Tevis Cup--which is 100 miles in 1 day. It sure does give us a lot of appreciation for what the riders and horses experience in the actual Tevis.
The way the event works is you start logging your daily miles on April 19th, and the last day is the day of the actual Tevis which is July 30th. Last year, I really enjoyed watching the live streaming of the actual horses reaching their milestones. Wow, those horses are amazing.
And of course, we get a t-shirt. The proceeds of the event helps pay for the upkeep of the Tevis trail, so it is for a good cause. Anything that keeps our trails open and usable is a good thing.
It makes it especially fun that Ellen and I are doing it together. I am always ahead of her in the miles because since she still works, she can't ride as often as I do, but she usually isn't that far behind.
If you are interested in participating in the event, you can sign up any time before the last 10 days of the ride. Here is the website.
