Riders and horses have 24 hours to complete the ‘100 Miles In One Day’ and the Lachlan Endurance Riders Club (LERC) are excited to welcome horses, riders, volunteers, spectators and many others.
There is much experience and depth in LERC’s amazing committee, as they are not strangers to running championship events. They have run the state championships in 1995, 1997 and 2010, as well as having run the Tom Quilty National Championships back in 2003. The club often takes on zone championship events also.
The championship ride commences at 1am (ESDT) Sunday, October 1 and the course closes 1am Monday, October 2. The course will be a mixture of gravel laneways, fat lamb country, paddocks, cropping country and good verges along bitumen in small sections.
It takes in beautiful views of the picturesque district.
It will be five legs of different distances which total the 160 kilometres. The 80 kilometres Woodstock ride will commence at 6am. There will be no intermediate rides.
Ride base: Woodstock Showground, Robinson Street, Woodstock. Shower and toilet block is on site. Portable toilets will be available for the weekend of the ride.
Communications: Back Creek and Waugoola Bush Fire Brigades will run the communications to various checkpoints.
Catering: The Woodstock P & C will be providing the catering from Friday night until Monday morning with a canteen available. Monday a breakfast will be catered with pre paid availability.
