This Sunday RH will be doing a trail ride at Mont Elery in Laurel Mills, VA. The ride is leaving at 9AM. There will be optional jumping for those who want to get some practice in. Most of the jumps around this fixture are in the 3’ range and with pretty straight forward approaches. Depending on the route we take we may do some river crossings.
Mont Elery is a gorgeous place and home to pairs of Bald Eagles.
Directions:
From downtown Culpeper and take Rt. 229 toward Rixeyville. After passing the high school on the right, turn left at light onto Rt. 729 (Eggbornsville Road).
