[RC] Oreana 100 - WOW! - Kevin Myers

If you didn't make it down to Oreana, ID this weekend, you missed yet
another fulfilling ride! Steph and John, you deserve a heartfelt thanks for
putting on an excellently managed ride with great trails, great views, great
people, great weather (from the perspective of an Arizonian, 90 degrees
seemed just right! ;-)) , a great basecamp and delicious food. Tony and
Dianne Dann were faultless in their day management skills and Steve Bradley
and Merri Melde captured the digital moments perfectly.

It was wonderful to be back out on those trails late into the night. John's
prolific glowsticks on the last 20 miles turned the Owyhee Badlands into an
enchanted forest. I was out there until 1:30 AM and didn't even need to put
on a jacket or turn on my headlamp! Awesome! Of the 13 starters, nine
completed. Christoph Schork won and got BC.

Thanks, Mr. & Mrs. Teeter, for contributing to the richness of the
northwestern endurance environment. Oreana will long be remembered for a
couple of driven people who turned a sleepy ranch at the end of a dirt road
into one of the most important endurance destinations on the national
circuit. Does anyone know how many rides have been held there since the
first one in 2001?

I'll be thinking of you all on Thursday, August 23 for the AERC National
Championship 55 and again on Saturday, August 25 for the AERC National
Championship 100. For those of us not lucky enough to be riding on those
days, I have no doubt that it will be quite a show to observe on site! For
those of us not lucky enough to observe on site, we'll stay tuned to
http://www.endurance.net/aercnc/ (www dot endurance dot net slash aercnc

updates.

Warmest wishes from the Oven!
