You are invited to the 10th annual Big South Fork Endurance Ride. The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area is a 120,000 acre park which straddles the Tennessee-Kentucky line 80 miles northwest of Knoxville. The defining feature of the area is the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River.  The land is woodland plateau that has been sculpted into rugged rocky bluffs and deep gorges. The sandstone has been carved into fascinating formations of cliffs, rock shelters, arches and pillars.  Again this year there are two days of competition with each day sanctioned as a separate 30 and 50-mile ride.  You may mix and match horses and distances, as you desire.  Contact Eric Rueter 865.986.5966 eMAIL

        There will be a 30 and 50 mile Ride and Tie held on Saturday and a 10 miler on Sunday.  This is a competition among teams of two people, one horse and 10, 30 or 50 miles of trail.  Ride and Tie's are lots of fun and you don't have to be in great shape to do it.  Really.  For more information and entry forms for the Ride and Tie, contact Joanne Grimes at 865-693-4308 (before 10 PM) eMAIL .
