[PPRAANet] Cavaleir Trail Ride

[Aaron Pelouze]

All

The Cavalier Trail Ride is coming up on May 25-26. This is a horse 
riding event. The riders must go through the check points at specific 
time intervals. Check points will be recording bib numbers, and times. 
Then relaying back to net control. Once again it is on the Air Force 
Academy grounds. This is a fun event, and challenging. Last year a rider 
was thrown off of her horse, and hurt on a difficult part of the course. 
With the help operators guiding in medical help she was rescued.

There are still openings on both days. If you are interested let me 
know. I have include the general operator equipment below.
