Wish you had been there, but here's what happened . . .
 
Don't forget your camera when you go on club rides.  We all want to see how much fun everyone is having!

Goodno

Our first ride of the season had us meeting at Burger King in LaBelle, then on to Goodno.  Overcast skies and nice breezes made for a pleasant ride.  Goodno is not the most scenic ride, but it is high and dry, minimal bugs and water holes for the horses.  We went across the bridge and all the horses passed with flying colors.  Not a one hesitated.  It was a great ride, good company and we headed to Flora & Ella's for lunch.  Since Stephanie and Jo had never had PIE at Flora & Ella's, we ordered several pieces, used the lazy susan in the middle of the table and did a taste test as the "pie turned".  It was our own private dessert bar.  Sometimes I think we ride just so we can eat.  See ya on the trail.

On this beautiful morning, Barb, Charlotte, Jo, Stephanie, Carol, Jeanne, and Janice got their horses ready, and we headed out onto dry trails.  Although Goodno isn’t the most exciting ride, it is a dry one, which was a most welcomed sight. 

 

 A couple of the horses were a little excited that riding season had started up again, but once they realized that their respective boss mares were in charge, all was well.  We tried to figure out what direction we were going a few times (especially after just learning about compasses and direction at the October meeting), but decided it was easiest to just follow Charlotte.  Jo finally got her GPS figured out and determined that we went 7.55 miles that day.

 

After the ride, we stopped for lunch in LaBelle.  Lunch was good but dessert was even better.  We got a few different kinds of pie and put them on the lazy susan in the center of the table and shared the goodness.  Good friends, good horses, and good pie; does it get any better than that?
