A message from Sue Downing, Ride Manager:
In a conversation with the forest manager, a decision has been made to postpone Aprilfest Endurance, which also means postponing the Training Clinic/Training Ride and the Lay Judge Clinic. Disappointing for sure, but is in the best interest of the forest and base camp. The new date is the holiday weekend in May, May 19 & 20.Sue Downing, Ride Manager
