Challenge: Cattle Herding Post 7 - Rockin' on down to the Rodeo

After the epic shopping trip (those boots took forever) in and around the local town of Cody (I say local, as in - it's only an hour and a half's drive away. Yep. This is Big Country out here). It's time to see how the pros do it and rock on down to the local Rodeo.



Cody is a small town founded by Buffalo Bill Cody himself and suitably enough is "The capital of Cowboy Rodeo."



Handy that, given that's why we're here :D
They even look the part too, isn't that right Wayne?



Settling down in the stalls, the Rodeo kicks off slowly at first with cow chases, then lasso compeitions and finally, Buffalo riders.











The level of skill involved to compete in some of these tasks is quite something and although there is a long week of hard work ahead, it's nice to see everyone relaxing (as well as secretly take notes) before we head off into the mountains later this week.

Also. Tomorrow? The hardcore training begins...

Challenge: Cattle Herding Post 6 - Boots? Check (ish)

And what about the boots?
Well... Let's take a look shall we?




That was a Lucozade Challenge in itself!

Challenge: Cattle Herding Post 5 - Horses? Check

The important four up there are Warhorse, K C Jones, Hulk and 2 Dogs

Picking them was relatively easy... actually catching them? Not so much ;)







Heh... They got there in the end ;)

Challenge: Cattle Herding Post 4 - Hats? Check

The guys didn't *have* have matching hats, but it turned out they just wanted to look that way...

Looking good gents! :D

Challange: Cattle Herding Post 1 - Meet the Winners!

Howdy folks!

Time to meet the Lucozade Energy Cattle Ranching Challenge winners, I give you

Jon, Daf, Llion and Wayne



Welcome to Wyoming!

Jon, pictured far left, is the lucky chap whose name was drawn from the lucky Lucozade cowboy hat just over a week ago and in a heartbeat, he picked his friends, Daf, Llion and Wayne as his cohorts to join him out here in the Wild, Wild West.



Big Sky Country

I took some time to catch up with them all on the flight over here to the good ol' US of A and it seems like 'Doing More' is something these gents are used to back home.

A quick rundown of the challenges they've completed to date reveals some amazing achievements:

• The Tough Guy Challenge
• The Royal Marines Commando Challenge
• As well as sporting hobbies like: Canyon-ing, Mountain Biking, Snowboarding, Coasteering and Snowboarding!

There was I thinking the odd game of frisbee could get strenuous. These guys take 'hobbies at the weekend' to the next level!
Which in turn, certainly makes them right men for the job ahead: Cattle Driving through the Big Horn Mountains.

Good luck everyone, it's going to be a great week :)
