We began our endurance season in Roy, Washington at the Battle of The Flatlands ride on the Ft. Lewis Army Base. This is a great early season ride, because the weather is generally mild, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a lot of water on the trail.
The trail is a mix of single track dirt trails weaving through the forest, and open meadow areas with gravel roads. I recommend hoof protection at this ride due to all of the rock roads. We used our Renegade Horse Boots and all 5 horses this ride with great success.
The Camping is a pasture field with water troughs and outhouses available. The start of the race involves riding a short section of pavement before riding the trail. In 2024 we were required to purchase passes through the military base for $15 to ride on the land the trails are on.
This ride is well ran and a great season opener. There was a Burger Truck and Coffee stand in 2024 as well as a ride photographer.
