Start of trainers Rebecca-Jenkins-leading-Sam.jpg Indy-and-water-bag.jpg
  They're off! The last of the Training riders leaving the start of their adventure.   Rebecca Jenkins leading Sam out on the track. Where are all the hills?   What the well equipped rider carries these days! Indy claims to needs to carry more water than a blasted camel!

  That's Dave Macey in the foreground, riding Buck, with Kim Gibbs riding Shalamar, waiting at the marshalling area for the start.   Phil Carroll leading Santa Arabia Koizar, nearing the first check point at the 10 Km mark. Sure was hot, wasn't it, Phil?   Indy riding Indigo Autumn (known as Indy) on the left, with Kim Gibbs riding Shalamar and Dave Macey shepherding them along on Buck.

  "I'll swap my horse for a cup of cool water"!   Indy at the first check point, enjoying a drink of iced water. I am sorry that there are so many photos of me included, but these are the only images that we have and I hope that, none the less, they portray some of the atmosphere and  a little of how the ride was for us.

Unfortunately, because it was dark during the Main Ride and no one had any state of the art equipment for taking night time shots, there are only a few images, below, of the start of the Main Ride.
 

Start of the main ride.

  Noel Wiseman riding Centre Regal ahead of Jamie Lockwood on Bremervale Morocco (we think,  judging by the number) and several other riders at the start of the Main Ride.   I think it is Peter Toft on Down Under in the middle (the grey horse) heading out amongst the rest of the Main Riders at the start.   Shannon Decker on Brieema Bullet (the grey) and Terry Wood on Tallawarra (rest of the name unknown) to the right of this picture, waiting for the start.
