Endurance & Trail Ride
We wanted to thank the Kennedy's, Potlatch and the YMCA for letting us ride on their land and Lakeshore Waste Services for waiving their dump charge.
Mountains of Thanks to Clay and Diann Simpson and Simpson Excavation for all their help marking trail and making it easier for the big rigs to get into camp!
Neil and Liz Smallwood are the best when it comes to offering a helping hand by taking a week of vacation to help set up camp, mark and clear trails!
Special thanks to our sowmobiling buddies, Lonnie & Mickey Sutton, Tim & Linda Henrickson, Terri & Mike Klanderud for also taking vacation time to help out with a horse ride.
Thank you to all of our wonderful family, friends and volunteers that come up to help put on the Pink Flamingo Classic. We couldn't do any of it without you!! You guys ROCK!!
Cynthia Labrie roped in her family to helping organize, haul, set up, sell tickets and gather a ton of wonderful raffle prizes for the Strides Against Breast Cancer raffle. This great fund raiser wouldn't happen without her!! You are the best, Cynthia!
Many Thanks to our wonderful Vets. Dr. Robert Washington, Dr. Keith Ruble, and Dr. Tom Bergstrom. Good Vets make or break a ride! You guys are the best. Thank you for spending your weekend with us.
And most of all, we can't thank our Husbands enough. Doug and Craig are Saints! Thank you for all your support and 'man-power'.

2011 Ride Flyer
July 30, 2011 Update - We are only a week away!
The trails are coming together. We have 3 new trails this year and the footing is even better than last year. Totally barefoot friendly.
Cynthia and Liz have worked really hard to gather a ton of really cool raffle prizes for the Strides Against Breast Cancer fund raiser. Make sure you bring some extra fun dollars for raffle tickets. Click here for more information. Tickets will be drawn on Saturday!!
Weather is going to be great! It looks like the temps are going to be in the 80's during the day and it can get into low 40's at night so make sure you bring a coat for yourself, your horse's blanket, fly spray, and OFF. The mosquitoes have been fairly decent but they do get hungry in the evenings.
Wild Bill Bivens will be cooking for us this weekend. Wild Bill will be open for breakfast, too if your crew gets hungry while you are out on the trail.
Dinner will be served on Friday and Saturday nights. Saturday night will be an open kitchen...starting a 4pm so you can come over when you are hungry.
