I have been happy to find so many new races springing up around the central valley. When I left Las Vegas to return home to the valley, I was sad to loose so many fun events. The Mavericks Pony Express is on the top of my list for events I will return to around the valley. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, I took a lot of them on Saturday, September 28th, and as you can see from all the smiles, it was an event I truly enjoyed, benefiting the Happy Trails Ranch in Tulare, CA. And an added bonus, upon going back and checking results, it appears it was a PR too!!
