Spring 600 Results

Matthew Bell
Ed Person
Tom Reimbolt
Graham Ross
Maciej Szarecki

all finished the spring ACP 600 km brevet. It's fair to say that headwinds and rain in the first part made this ride rather challenging. Congratulations to the finishers and commiserations to the non-finishers. Thanks to all for coming and riding with DRR. Lovely to have some recidivists revisit. See you all down the road again soon.

Big thanks to Graham Ross who made a special trip to come and pre-ride the previous weekend and volunteer on the day of the brevet. His contributions definitely helped to clarify some of the trickier parts of the cue sheet and provided some up-to-date intelligence about road conditions.

Hail storm near Franklin Summit, NE Oregon.

Thats all for now from DRR until September, when we'll be running a new 600 and a 200. Watch this space or our Facebook page for updates.

all finished the DRR spring 400 km brevet on 4/29.
Well done all. Was a beautiful day, although the evening wind beside the Columbia added a little challenge later on. Thanks everyone for riding with DRR. Big thanks to Paul for organizing.
