[OrRando] 600k Advice?

Wed Sep 13 15:52:51 PDT 2006

Michael,

What Susan said.  I rode mostly straight through on my 600's for the opposite reason: I'm slow and was worried about the time.   

On my  1st 600, I took a 1 hour nap in a convenience store around 3 a.m. when I started seeing Sigourney Weaver's Alien attacking me from the trees!!!    Somehow I don't think you'll get that tired. <grin>

Looking forward to how ya do....

Slo Joe

  Hi fellow randonneurs,

  I'm about to do my first 600k (the SIR 600k) next weekend, and I was wondering if any of you might be able to give me a little orientation.  Specifically, I was wondering about the overnight control.  The Web site mentions "hotels" and "overnight baggage transport".  Am I right in concluding that there will be accomodations in Kelso associated with the ride?  Will arranging such accomodations be the responsibility of the rider, or will one be able to just show up at the control in Kelso and be assigned quarters? 

  As for the overnight baggage, presumably that would consist of a change of clothes and some extra food.  Would I also want to include a sleeping bag?

  Thanks so much for your guidance of this newbie.

  -Michael
