[OrRando] Re: OrRando Digest, Vol 35, Issue 10

[Jay T. Ritchey]

Hello there,

The Tentative 600k for the 24th & 25th of May sounds great to me. It would
be my first OrRando race, and my first Randonneur race at that!

A little into, my name is Jay Ritchey and I am new to the area. I work at
the Hollywood Bike Gallery and have recently been interested by this style
of riding. I look forward to the challenge!

I am currently requesting these dates off in hopes of attending the race.

I have further questions about transportation to/from the beginning/finish
in Newburg but I can ask these later. I also have questions wondering what
to pack, but I will ask these later as well.

Thanks! Talk to you all later.

Jay Ritchey
