Hotter Than Heck Ride, Meridian

Whoo Hoo, it`s hot but what the heck, let`s ride. Pull in Friday for a pre ride on the ranch. Join in around the campsite with the locals of the county for some tall tales of this and that and the chicken fat. Chill out with cool beverages and we will have something cooking. On Saturday morning, we will git started early to get a step up on the heat but also you will most likely see some of the wildlife like deer and their fawns, turkeys, and a fox or two. All riders will head out on the trails for a couple of hours while back at camp Jill`s volunteers with be fixing up some lunch. You are welcome to come in on Friday and stay until Sunday if you are up for it.

The ranch has a uniqueness of very different terrain. It is rocky and shoes are recommended. As of today, it is still primitive camping. We will set up camp Friday with normal sitting around and cooking. There will be ribeyes and fixings for a nominal fee Friday night. It`ll be ready about 7 to 8 pm. You can ride the ranch Friday until 7:00 pm. Then we gotta set up the obstacles for the early morning ride.
