Riders are shown in the order they came along the trail. 

Please let me know if you can identify any of these anonymous riders (so much for my cunning plan of being able to read the butt numbers off the horses in the photos)

Jul15243.jpg (41062 bytes) Julie Suhr and Razzman going for Julie's 21st buckle...

(Update: both Julie and Barbara finished at 4:43)

Jul15244.jpg (38939 bytes) Barbara White and Springdale Witez

Julie and Barbara snuck into the trees past the check (less crowded and more discreet <grin>). Upon leaving, I heard Julie comment "Right, now our horses have had a little rest at elevation..."

Hmmm. Tips from the pros?

Just past the check, the trail levels out a little and isn't quite as steep - riders were able to move out and make up some time - which I guess is one of the tricks to successfully completing this ride: trot whenever you can, because you won't be able to on much of the rugged parts of the trail.
