[OrRando] Three Praries Perm

Fri Jan 19 11:35:37 PST 2007

Randos usually describe their times in terms of on the elapse time rather than dreaming they really go 18mph or even 14mph. I wouldn't be surprized if Ray, Bert and now Marcello finish in and around 11 hrs. With a start of 8am, that makes about a 7pm finish. Unfortunately, Ray set the time and Ray like to sleep in... though he always Claims he works Friday nights ;-)
