Ride Central
Tour the town trails of Woodside, stopping at farms and local landmarks along the way where your horse will be spoiled by delicious treats. Maps will be mailed to you in advance as part of your registration package. Stops will be designated where finger-food, beverages, restrooms and water will be provided. Stickers will be affixed at each stop to record the visits made by each participant.

The route will be "Take Your Own Line" within the time allowed and will encourage an efficient path to all stops. Riders may start at any point. The official route will use only town trails without gates. Stop locations will be annotated on the map with addresses and directions as needed. Those not obviously visible from the trail will have well-marked signs.

Riders completing a minimum number of stops will receive a goody bag when they turn in their map after the ride. Locations include both public and private horse-friendly locations, concentrating in the areas near central Woodside. Stops farther out get "double" or "triple" stickers.

All riders must pre-register, sign the release, and make a donation of $30.00 per rider. You must bring your own horse. The ride is open to the public; all participants must be mounted on the trail ride. No stallions or dogs are permitted. Your "Ticket to ride" maps will be mailed to you.
