Ride Report for ORRandonnuers, Columbia Hills 300k, August 19, 2006
-- 
There were 18 riders including 4 preriders, and 14 riders the day of the 
event. Two riders did not finish the entire route. There was one 
potential bike adjustment or over use knee injury. No accidents were 
reported although one randonneur forgot their helmet at the Rowena Crest 
control which technically qualified as an accidental departure. The 
rider was easily identified and the forlorn helmet was returned to the 
cool-headed Randonneur. The weather was sunny and visibility was 
impaired because of smoke from forest fires burning in the Mt. Hood 
area. Air temperatures recorded in The Dalles, OR ranged from 58.7 at 
06:00 hrs to 97.4 at 16:30 hrs. The wind was calm but abruptly picked up 
from the west at 16:29 hrs. The maximum recorded wind speed was 12 mph 
at 17:34 hrs. By 20:00 hrs the wind dropped to 1 to 2 mph from the west 
and gradually returned to calm by 21:00 hrs. Many riders wore tube socks 
wet or filled with ice around the back of their necks to help keep from 
overheating through the afternoon and early evening. Most riders 
reported the route was challenging but commented that they enjoyed the 
route and the challenge.
