GOOD NEWS-
The $50.00 late fee for the AERC National Championship Ride on August 25 and 27, 2011, near Capitan, New Mexico, will be waived to all riders who call or e-mail ride management with in the next couple days. Roger Taylor needs to get a count so that he can order the meals and awards as soon as possible. The ride plans are looking great, high desert mountain weather in New Mexico should be nice with highs near 80 and very cool nights.
Everyone should support the ride this year and buy raffle tickets for the desert bred colt (donated by Edie Booth) or the two Specialized Saddles (donated by the Kaden's). Look on the the AERC.org website for more information.

SW: Fort Stanton Update
While New Mexico is under extreme fire conditions, the BLM has been working with us to ensure that we would be able to go forward with our Fort Stanton ride, July 10, 11, 12, and 14, 15, 16. They provided me today a set of stipulations outlining the restrictions during the event but did approve the ride on the BLM site.
The key restrictions for riders are 1) absolutely no smoking on BLM land - only inside living quarters (except tents); 2) absolutely no open flame of any kind and 3) we have to have an emergency evacuation plan while on the trail so we will be requesting your cell phone number and that you carry that phone with you. We will also be using the ham radio operator to keep you informed if any emergency arises. Ride management will be strictly enforcing these fire related restrictions with a no tolerance approach. Anyone in violation of these restrictions will be escorted from the ride immediately and will not receive any refund.
We look forward to seeing you at the ride.
