W: Rides of March Update
March 4 2012
The Rides of March 30/50 will be held on March 17th at Red Rock, Nevada. The ride is filling fast so if you have not sent in your entry do it quick. If we have to start a wait list you will be notified by phone and email. This ride is also sanctioned by AHA.
Save $10.00 if you register by March 5!
Due to the lack of snow on the ground we will be using the beautiful Scenic Trail again this year. While the wild flowers seem to be staying in hiding the grasses are starting to turn green. The hawks and the deer have been fairly prevalent as well over the last few weeks. It should prove to be another wonderful ride to celebrate our 10th year.
Come join us!

W: 2012 Nevada Derby I & II
Hello fellow endurance riders,
Come enjoy some great Nevada hospitality and join us for the 2012 Nevada Derby I & II Endurance rides. You can access it on the AERC calendar page, http://www.doublejoy.com/erol/Calendar/rides.asp?gs=aerc&dtSpan=2012&scope=_r®ion=w or our web site at http://www.nastr.org/ (under downloads). We are in the process of updating the site and making changes, so please check back frequently, to see what changes we’ve made.
Something new this year is the addition of a 25 mile ride on Sunday. In years past we’ve only offered it for Saturday, but we will have it both days this year. We are also offering a 15 mile fun ride on Sunday, for riders and/or horses who aren’t quite ready for a 25/50 mile ride. This won’t be a timed event, just a leisurely trail ride.
The Nevada Derby 50 Mile Ride (day one) is the first test in our NASTR Triple Crown - three rides, of increasing distance and difficulty, through Northern Nevada valleys, deserts, foothills, and mountains (Nevada Derby 50 / March 31st * NASTR 75 / May 27th * VC 100 / September 15th). We invite you to test yourself, and join us in the fun and challenge, as well as the special awards.
NEWS BREAK... the NASTR 30/50/75 date has changed from June 9th to Sunday, May 27th ... YEAH ... Memorial Day Weekend. June was getting way too crowded, so the club opted for the May date. It will be a perfect time of year for the ride, not too hot yet, plenty of grass, and the wild flowers should still be in bloom. Mark your calendars with the date change, and join us for the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown.
An additional bonus, both NV Derby 50 mile rides, the NASTR 50 & 75 mile rides, and Virginia City 100 are AHA sanctioned.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you the end of March.

MT: Camas Creek Canter
As details become available, they will be posted on the ride website at www.montanaendurance.com For now the ride is sanctioned for one day. If I can gather the courage, find the volunteers, convince the land management agencies and balance the budget, I'll consider making it a two day, same trails ride.
Happy New Year and welcome to winter, finally!

NW: New Aspen Lake Ride
January 20, 2012
New PNER Endurance Ride: Aspen Lake Endurance Ride!
Date: September 29, 2012
at Aspen Lake, Oregon
Ride Manager: Diana Aldridge ( 541) 899-8351
Events: 10 Mile Fun Run, 30 Mile Loop and a 50 Mile
Sponsored by the Rogue Riders Horse Club
The Rogue Riders Horse club is sponsoring an exciting new Endurance ride in Southern Oregon. The Aspen lake ride was just recently sanctioned by AERC. You can go on line and check the AERC calendar for further details.
http://www.doublejoy.com/erol/Calendar/RideDetails.asp?rideID=5629
It's going to be an awesome ride in a scenic area. You may wonder how I know that? I know because my husband, Don and I live near this beautiful area. We have been fortunate enough to ride throughout the JWTR lands for years. We've especially enjoyed conditioning our horses in the spectacular Aspen Lake area.
JWTR, a private Timber company owns Aspen Lake and the surrounding area. JWTR does an outstanding job of managing their Timber lands. We noticed that they quickly replant after logging a section. They definitely go out of their way to protect wildlife. In fact you may spot several rustic bird houses if you ride around the lake. JWTR gave the local Audubon Society permission to put up bird houses. They also have many signs posted throughout their land that says, "Designated Area-Protected Wildlife Habitat".
JWTR expects us to be respectful of their property, but they also generously support horse back riding and hiking on their lands.
Yeah! We will not need to bring weed free hay to the Aspen Lake Endurance ride. Diana Aldridge, ride manager also shared that we won't need to bag manure either. Just spreading the manure will be sufficient with JWTR's expectations. Thank you, JWTR!
Don and I love riding in the Aspen Lake area. Aspen Lake backs up against the scenic Mt. Lakes Wilderness area. The views are beautiful! In certain spots once can even see Mt. Shasta and Mt. McLaughlin. The Aspen Lake area is a haven for migratory birds. In the spring and fall, we've often seen Sand Hill cranes, egrets, Bald eagles and hawks. We've also seen other wildlife such as elk, deer and black bear. The footing for horses in the Aspen Lake area is very good.
JWTR owns well over 500,000 acres of open country. The possibility for future Endurance trails is endless. In the future it is even feasible to add longer loops. There are many possibilities on JWTR land for all kinds of distances including hundred mile loops. It's wonderful that JWTR agreed to host an Endurance event on their land. Thank also go to Diana and John Aldridge for pursuing this Endurance event with JWTR and AERC. If possible please mark your calendar and plan on supporting this awesome new Endurance ride.
If you have any questions about the Aspen Lake Endurance ride, please contact, Diana Aldridge, Ride manager at (541) 899-8351.
You can probably use Map Quest to locate Clover Creed Rd. Once you find Clover Creed Rd., you should be able to easily find camp. The ride camp will be visible from Clover Creek Rd. It is going to be situated close to mile post 10 off of Clover Creek Road. Diana has also provided specific directions on the Aspen Lake flyer. Since Don and I live just a few miles east of the Ride camp so please feel free to call us if you need further directions. We ought to be available up until a few days before the ride date. ( 541) 882-5814.
Hope to see you there!
