Jetta and I rode around the whole Ponderosa Trail loop this morning--six miles at a bit quicker pace this time. It's a great trail, not too rocky, but steep and mountainous with a few technical questions. In other words, it's a great training and conditioning trail. Jetta is getting fit and seems to really enjoy being out on the trail. She led most of the way. We had a little spook when a deer jumped out of the gully below us, and again when the wild turkeys we were chasing flew into some low trees, but nothing very exciting. She's a pretty cool cookie, that's for sure.
Our first 25 miler will hopefully be the Quichipa Lake ride near Cedar City a mere six weeks away! There a still a few things I want to work on with her training-wise, and I MUST get her back boots ordered and in place to see if they'll even work. Other than those "minor" issues, I think we'll be ready!
