Your great uncle won the ride, then sat in a lawn chair in our front yard greeting the riders as they finished. He told me he didn't like to work past noon! Virl was a gentleman, remained our friend for several years. Always, very gracious. If you want the article I would be happy to forward it to you.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896039750124085358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-36662432192813622202012-03-27T13:42:15.464-07:002012-03-27T13:42:15.464-07:00Great article!Great article!Dario T.

I am one of the last surviving riders of the GAHR and have to say without a shadow of doubt, this race was a life changing and once in a lifetime oppurtunity that I am so glad I was a part of and a finisher. I truly had an exeptional horse named Monte, who lived over 30 years, and was a great joy to be around. It would take me weeks to explain all the great times and challenges we had, met, and lived through, but I wouldn't trade a minute of it! In addition, a huge thank you to all my terrific fellow riders,crews,vet and interns, that made it all so memorable and possible. Ride safe! #103,GAHRTed Allegri Jr.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-1561474048955015512011-02-06T19:38:51.498-08:002011-02-06T19:38:51.498-08:00I was only 16 when this ride went through my count...I was only 16 when this ride went through my county in NY.
