Diablo Trail Endurance
Ride 30/50 - June 21, 2008
AHA Region 3 Championship and AERC Sanctioned
This
summer, Save Mount Diablo added another recreational
opportunity to our event program with the Diablo Trail
Endurance Ride, our first ever equestrian trail ride
event. The Diablo Trail Endurance Ride, which took
place on June 21, offered riders a 30-mile limited
distance and 50-mile endurance ride starting and
finishing at Castle Rock Park in Walnut Creek.
Despite
triple-digit temperatures, over 100 riders came out to
Castle Rock to participate in the event. After checking
in and vetting their horses, riders and their crew
members, friends and family enjoyed a barbeque dinner,
provided by Cuz’ns BBQ, and live bluegrass music under
the stars. The next morning, the riders headed out on
the course at 5:30 a.m. The course traveled through
Diablo Foothills, Shell Ridge Open Space and Mt. Diablo
State Park. Our capable ride management kept all horses
and riders safe in the hot weather conditions, and many
riders commented on what a great experience they had.
"I just wanted to say
thanks and congratulations to you and your crew for
putting on a great ride on Saturday. The trails were
very well marked just as you said they'd be and you
had spotters at all the right places. All the
volunteers were extremely helpful and as a rider, I
really couldn't have asked for much more."
