The ORRandonneurs 200k brevet at Mt. Adams on July 15, 2006 was a
success with 20 riders starting the brevet and 19 completing the ride.
There was one abandonment and two riders did not pass the qualification
requirements at all of the controls. There was one accident when a
jubilant randonneur raised his arms in a victory salute after besting
the half mile gravel patch only to discover he had insufficient speed to
support his upright orientation. This caused a spectacular collapse onto
the asphalt and loud vocal 'Ahhh' providing passing mountain bikers
great puzzlement and absolute delight. Many thanks to Bert Lutz and Nate
Armbrust for providing help and encouragement the controls.
