Ferne Clyffe Ride

Today I joined the endurance group. We rode from the Ferne Clyffe horse camping area. This was the first time I've ridden this area and it was beautiful! We started out with a little out and back stretch passing a couple very neat old barns. The trails here were excellent and in good condition with very few muddy spots. There was very little to slow down the speed. Though it was interesting how the trail would go from wide, lightly graveled double track to a mule path up or down a bluff and right back to graveled double track. The tough spots were tough but short. Lily was in her element in those sections though. Lily had to really work today to keep up speed wise with such long stretches of good trail. She did great though and only dropped back towards the end. We rode by a beautiful natural bridge. We rode by it along the top and then circled down to the bottom of it. We only did 12 miles, which was enough for Lily at the speed we were doing. The Kiblers had an event they had to go to that afternoon so had to cut their ride shorter than normal. It was a great ride!
