Papa BearsDue to repeated requests from Goldilocks participants wishing to ride with their favorite male riding companions, Goldilocks now reserves 100 ride registrations for Papa Bear riders. These special participants enjoy the same ride as the rest of the Goldilocks flock and, assists the gals if or when they are needed along the course. Papa Bears are the eyes and ears of Goldilocks dispatch.
