Congratulations to the six finishers and to all who participated. Shane, Charles, and Robert completed the full 600km course. Paul did that and more. On the pre-ride, Dan completed 400km before retiring with a broken rear wheel (cracked across the rim in 3 places).
Two more in on 400km - Monday 5:40AM
Ward Beebe at 1:35AM and James McKee at 5:30AM.
Monday Monday - Monday 1:15AM
Just after 1 o'clock Monday morning: Ray McFall finished his 1000k sopping wet in 66:31. Dan Turner called to report that he was closing up shop at Big Lake - Peg, Allison, and Dan left at 1:05AM for the 90km home stretch.
Edmonds 11:30PM - Sunday 11:30PM
Mike Richeson finished the 1000km in just under 65 hours.
Don Jameson came by and reported that all were through Concrete, with the last riders leaving the control at 9:20PM.
Dan Turner reports that Steve Hameister (1000km) and James McKee (400km) just left the Big Lake Control.
Reports from the Field - Sunday 7:00PM
Charlie White called after reaching cellphone coverage. All riders had made it through Colonial Creek, with the last group (Peg, Allison, and Dan) leaving there at 5:30PM, 12 hours after starting. Colonial Creek is 214km from the finish in Edmonds. James was ahead of them and Ward was the leading 400km rider.
Dan Turner reported in from Big Lake. Ray was there at the time, having arrived at 6:30PM. Mike had come through about an hour earlier. Steve was reportedly an hour or so behind. Big Lake is 90 kilometers from the finish. Last week on the pre-ride, it took me 6 hours to cover that distance, including the dinner stop there at Big Lake and a stop at the Haggen in Arlington as well as a brief stop at the control in Snohomish. Today Tom covered that distance in just under 6 hours (also including a dinner stop there at Big Lake) and Brian covered it in 4.5 hours (with a minimal stop in Big Lake).
I expect to see additional finishers around 11PM or so.
First Riders In - Sunday 6:15PM
At 5:35, Tom Martin and Brian Ohlmeier arrived at the finish (in 59:05 total time for the 1000km). Both looked great, if a bit waterlogged. Tom had left Darrington last night and then slept for a while in Charlie White's camper (now known as the White House) at the Colonial Creek Campground. Brian slept in Darrington and left before dawn this morning. They met up within 5 miles of the finsh and came in together. Lots of rain was reported!
Another out - Sunday 4:15PM
Gary Prince (400k) has called it a day.
Just Waiting - Sunday 4:00PM
Sunday afternoon at 4PM: All quiet on the Edmonds front. Rick Groth came by to report that he had reached his limit on fixing flats in the rain and had turned back after about 40 miles on the 400km. Paul Johnson stopped by to pick up his drop bag and to take a shower and a nap before heading home. Shane came by to chat and pick up his drop bag. Don Jameson picked up some supplies for late night duty at the Concrete control. No word yet from any of the continuing riders (5 on the 1000k and 6 on the 400k). I expect to see Tom Martin and Brian Ohlmeier in the next few hours and to see the others trickling in until morning.
Sunday Morning - Sunday 10:00AM
As of 9:30 Tom Martin, Brian Ohlmeier, Mike Richeson, Ray McFall, and Steve Hameister have all left Darrington for the last 300km of the 1000km brevet. Paul Johnson called to say that he had decided not to continue and that he was heading back from Arlington to Edmonds.
5:30AM Sunday - 400k - Sunday 6:00AM
A grey, drizzly morning greeted the start of the 400km brevet. Allison Bailey, Ward Beebe, Dan Fender, Rick Groth, James McKee, and Gary Prince set off with Peg Winczewski, who was planning to add the 400k to her 600k adventure of the prior two days.
9:30 Sat - 600km Finished - Saturday 9:30PM
Tom Barocan, Matt Dalton, Maggie Williams, and Eric Vigoren all finished the 600km. Congratulations to Matt and Maggie for qualifying for Paris-Brest-Paris. Well done!
Best of luck to Tom Martin, Brian Ohlmeier, Mike Richeson, Ray McFall, Steve Hameister, and Paul Johnson as they continue their 1000km quest. Shane is calling it a weekend at Kingston, with knee pains rendering another 400k inadvisable.
Edmonds 7PM Saturday - Saturday 7:00PM
Ken Carter, Bob Lagasca, John Kramer, Todd Sahl, Rick Blacker, Peg Winczewski, Sal Ortega, Doug Graham, Don Smith, and Jeff Tilden have all finished the 600k. John Vincent is manning the finish at Kingston, relieving Geoff Swarts. He's still waiting for Tom Barocan, Matt Dalton, Maggie Williams, and Eric Vigoren. Bill Schell got sick today and abandoned the ride.
As to the 1000km riders, Mark Roberts at Darrington reports that Tom Martin just arrived there in the past hour and is off in search of food. Brian Ohlmeier, Mike Richeson, and Ray McFall are all riding between Edmonds and Darrington. Steve Hameister just arrived in Kingston and is planning on a nap there before the ferry. Paul Johnson and Shane Balkovetz are still on their way into Kingston.
I'm planning to catch up on sleep before the 400km start tomorrow.
Everyone out of Aberdeen - Saturday 1:00PM
By 9:20AM all riders had left the overnight motel in Aberdeen. I'm heading back to Edmonds. Unfortunately Brad Hawkins called it a day shortly after leaving Aberdeen, giving heed to the screaming of his knees. Also, I received a call from Charles Coldwell, shortly after I passed him and his father on US-101 going into Shelton letting me know that they intended to halt their ride at Kingston and not finish the 1000km. So we have 15 riders still on the 600km course and 7 riders still on the 1000km course.
Everyone in - Saturday 5:00AM
As of 4:47, all the riders (except the one DNF) are in to Aberdeen with 4.5 hours in hand. Riders are trickling out as well. In addition to Mike and Bob, Brian Ohlmeier, John Kramer, Ken Carter, and Todd Sahl have headed off into the early light.
2 more in; 2 out - Saturday 4:15AM
Brad Hawkins (600k) and Steve Hameister (1000k) came in about 3:40; Mike Richeson and Bob Lagasca were the first riders to leave after a sleep stop.
Rush hour - Saturday 3:30AM
From 2:12 to 3:05, eleven more riders came into Aberdeen. Rick Blacker (600k), Peg Winczewski (600k), and Salvador Ortega(600k) were the first group at 2:12. A half hour later, we saw Doug Graham (600k), Ray McFall (1000k), and Charles & Robert Coldwell (1000k). At 3:05 Don Smith (600k), Jeff Tilden (600k), Eric Vigoren (600k), and Maggie Williams (600k) arrived. Six more are still on the road, but doing well; all left the Lake Quinault control 3.5 hours or more ahead of the control closing time.
The next 4 - Saturday 1:10AM
Bob Lagasca (600k), John Kramer (600k), Todd Sahl (600k), and Mike Richeson (1000k) arrived around 12:40AM. Todd was able to find a bike shop in Port Angeles to fix a balky headset and continue. All reported some beautiful riding and great weather after the rain stopped for them between Sequim and Port Angeles in the morning.
Aberdeen midnight - Saturday 12:20AM
Three riders in between 10 and 10:30. New rider Tom Martin (1000km) and veterans Brian Ohlmeier (1000km) and Ken Carter (600km) arrived looking strong. After the very best of motel room dinners (cup of noodles and sandwiches), Brian and Ken went to bed. Tom cleaned up and headed out again at 11:10AM. David Harper called earlier to say that his stomach had gone south on him by Forks and he was heading home. The other 22 riders are still wandering around the Peninsula.
Off they go - Friday 7:00AM
It was a rainy morning in Edmonds and Kingston for the start of the 1000km and 600km brevets at 6:30. Michael Huber and I checked in riders, took drop bags, and handed out brevet cards and route sheets.
Nine riders set off on the 1000km - Charles Coldwell, visiting from Boston, and his father Robert, a Seattle native visiting from Florida, joined seven NW randonneurs - Shane Balkovetz, Steve Hameister, Paul Johnson, Tom Martin, Ray McFall, Brian Ohlmeier, and Mike Richeson.
Seventeen riders came for the 600km brevet: Tom Barocan, Rick Blacker, Ken Carter, Matt Dalton, Doug Graham, Dave Harper, Brad Hawkins, John Kramer, Bob Lagasca, Salvador Ortega from Oregon, Todd Sahl, Bill Schell, Don Smith, Jeff Tilden, Eric Vigoren, Maggie Williams, and Peg Winczewski.
Several of these are working on their last PBP qualifiers, including at least Matt Dalton (recovering from early season hip fracture), Dave Harper, Don Smith, and Maggie Williams.
I'll see the riders again in Aberdeen tonight, 400km into their rides.
