Apple Valley 600k – September 10-11, 2011

Congratulations to the riders on the Apple Valley 600k Fall Classic September 10-11.  The weather was mostly great, but got pretty warm in the middle of the day, and a brisk west wind kept the returning rider’s heads down on Sunday.

                        Ed Hassler, Renee Schepers and Marlin Mangels at the finish

Congratulations to these riders, who successfully completed their Super Randonneur series with this ride, including three riders who achieved their first SR series.

Gary Bakke
