PBP 2019 Update

In my last post I committed to keeping this blog more up to date. Yeah, that went about as well as I expected.

Here's a quick & dirty update on my PBP pre-registration status.

SIR Summer 600K

On September 1st and 2nd I completed the SIR Summer 600K. This was a grueling route with two mountain passes on day1 and Green Mountain (a.k.a. "The Crown Jewel of the Pacific Northwest Randonneuring Pain Cave™" on day 2. I will try to find more time to write a proper ride report.

SIR Crater Lake 1000K

Less than two weeks later, on September 14th, 15th, and 16th I completed the SIR Crater Lake 1000K. This is another grueling ride with more than 10,000 feet of climbing every day. The final day starts with 100 miles of almost continuous climbing to the rim of Crater Lake followed by a bone chilling descent to Klamath Falls. Again, I will try to write a proper ride report Real Soon Now™.

PBP 2019 Pre-Registration

Completing the Crater Lake 1000K puts me on the top rung of the PBP pre-registration ladder. I can start my pre-registration process on January 14, 2019. Woo-hoo!
