[ORRando] Timothy 200 Results

[Michael Wolfe]

Thanks to Susan, results from the Timothy 200 are now posted.  34 starters,
33 finishers, 1 DNF (mechanical).  The person who DNF'd even did 70% of the
climbing before problems with her cassette forced her to pack it in, and she
still rode back to the start.  It was a beautiful day, and feedback was
uniformly enthusiastic.  7 women and 27 men participated, and of those 28
rode traditional bikes while 6 were on recumbents.  One rider pedaled to the
start point from east Portland.

The remoteness of the route was not at all a problem, and people really
seemed to appreciate the food and water stop/secret control.  The only issue
that people reported were some ambiguity in the information controls.  Chalk
that up to inexperience on my part; this ride was successful enough that I
would be happy to bring it back in some future season.  Perhaps even with a
few tweaks; there are some other paved roads in the area that would mix
things up nicely.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and rode so well!
