November 18th Leaderboard Update

November 18th, only 6 weeks to go, so get out there and ride :-)  This past weekend was beautiful with great weather here, but I didn't ride at all.  Nope, instead I went to the Nebraska Horse Expo and had a great time and learned that I sure don't know much about riding.  So my solution.....go out and ride more!  

Seriously though, I have a lot to learn to communicate with my horse correctly.  How about you?

November 11th Leaderboard Update

Here we are down to about 7 weeks left of riding and it is getting colder and less opportunities to ride.  How close are you to your 2013 Derby goal?  I have met and exceeded my goal this year.  I have almost ridden twice as far this year over my best year in Iowa.  I am a very happy rider :-)  We all still have time to get closer to our goals but with the weather you need to be more dedicated or crazy.  You decide which one YOU are :-).   

November 5th Leaderboard Update

Here is the Leaderboard update for the 1st week of November.  Remember, remember the 5th of November.......(name that movie).  Heading into the cold months of the year, sure hope we still get some good riding days before the year is done.  Dress warm and keep riding :-)  Congrats to Team 22 who leads the way with 1500 miles.

End of October Leaderboard

Here it is the end of October with only 2 months left to go for this years Derby.  Don't stop riding how everyone just bundle up and keep warm :-)  Congrats to Team 22 with 1500 miles :-)

October 28th Leaderboard Update

October 28th Leaderboard Update and it was a wild week for riding for alot of people :-)  I even took my computer on my vacation down to Eminence, MO to make sure I kept it updated and I was very busy every nite posting everyone's rides.  It was a great week for riding....yes....a little cold, but great :-)

October 21 Leaderboard Update

Well here is this week's leaderboard a little late.  I would say I am sorry but I'm not :-)  I am on a horse riding vacation in Eminence, MO with friends and having a fabulous time :-)  I have been reading about everyone's great vacations will I was waiting for mine and here it is!  Have a great week all.... I am :-)

October 14 Leaderboard Update

October 14th Leaderboard update.  

It's starting to get cold, so bundle up and keep riding :-)  

October 7 Leaderboard Update

Here we are at the final quarter of the year.  Three more months of 2013.  My favorite time to ride.  I noticed the trees are starting to change colors and loose their leaves.  I'm hoping for a long, mild autumn.    Heard a great joke....Autumn is the only time that fall and riding should be in the same sentence :-)  Loved this!  Happy fall riding everyone :-)

End of September Leaderboard

End of September and a LOT of riding being done this past week.  Congrats to Team 14 for leading the way with over 1429 miles!!!  Have a great October everyone :-)

NOTE:  Tammy wanted me to pass along a message.  The Distance Derby shirts had a spelling error (can you find it?) and if you want to return it for a replacement you may do so. Some colors may not be available now because the supplier ran out.  She will not cover shipping costs, so that would be $4.00 to be paid in advance and you will have to send back your original T-shirt.   Please contact her directly with questions and more information.

 (BTW,  She will have to pay for it out of her own pocket since she made the error and none of us caught it all the many times we saw the logo before it went to inking.  Personally I am keeping mine since I never saw the typo and most other people who see the logo when I wear it won't see it either. :-))

September 23 Leaderboard Update

Happy Autumn everyone!!! 

 I love this time of year with all the leaves changing colors and cooler weather and less bugs :-)   Let's hope we have a long autumn with great cool crisp days for lots of riding!  

Oh, and what's wrong with this picture????
