Retracing my Mum's adventures - Silver Boot Races 2005-2015

Between 2005 and 2015 my Mum and some of her pals took part in endurance horse racing events in Scotland called the Silver Boot Race. These events were special in that they are not about speed and instead have a list of points the riders can earn such as how many people you have in your group, how many mountain passes you do and what your overall distance is. There are many more categories and it made the races really interesting as it wasn't just about who gets to the finish line first. I found my Mum's folder of printed maps she had made and catalogued and I plan to relive some of these routes on bike. I'm already in awe of what she's done as many of these routes are hard enough by bike let alone on horseback, such as the infamous Glen Tilt!
