I did my first ride and tie in 1983 and have been getting slower ever since. My long time partner Kathy and I have almost 4000 miles together (no one else would put up with me) and while we’re taking a break from competing, I still am determined to introduce as many people as possible to this amazing sport. Being out on the trail with your two teammates is gratifying, maddening, exhausting and uplifting, and generates enough satisfaction to keep you feeling competent in the rest of your life. I want to get as many interested participants as I can find to join us, and support new and existing races so we all have somewhere to go.
