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.
