Completed a second R12

It's in the bag.  Another R12.  That means 12 consecutive months riding at least a 200km brevet.
I've got the framework in,  but the details still need to be filled in


Number 1: 4March17 was the OR Randonneur's Grab Bag 200km in March 2017.  That was wet and cold. Time of 13:21

Number 2: 1April17 was the OR Randonneurs Birkie's 200km brevet from Forest Grove to past Birkenfeld and back to Forest Grove. Time of 11:23.

 Sealed it with the Three Capes 300km from Forest Grove via the Three Capes and back to Forest Grove.  And to make Dieter's R2, did the Permanent #1401 Beaverton-Hagg Lake- Carlton of 203 km.

Number 3: 18May17 was on  Ken Mattina's Lunch at Nicks, from Multnomah Village to McMinville and back. Time of 11:12

Number 4: 3June17  was OR Randonneurs Newberg- Scio 200 km brevet and a time of 11:47

Number 5: 19July17  was Ken's Locks and Bagels 205 km  permanent.  I was lucky to have finished it before the fire in the gorge.Also lucky to have found some of the path and stay (barely) in the time constraints.  I got to each control before the cut off time, but left afterwards.  So no time in the "bank", except the last segment between St Johns and John's Landing, the start/end location, got a time of 13:24

Number 6: 16Aug17  was another Lunch at Nick's with the Bike Friday. Flatted once and a time of 12:00

Number 7: 11Sept17 on #1470 permanent of Beaverton-Birkenfeld-Beaverton with a time of 11:46

Number 8: 25Oct17 for our first time on Permanent # 1439 Multnomah Village (Outside the Gates of) from Mult Village to the Wheatland Ferry and back up through Forest Grove, Gales Creek, Banks, North Plains, and back into the Urban Growth zone.  Got a time 11:17 despite going through Forest Grove to get around the bridge that was closed for repair on Spring Hill Rd on the way to Gales Creek.

Number 9: 17Nov17 with Ken's Mill City Coffee Run,  Starts and ends just north of the Boones Bridge, so two crossings of that fast moving traffic bridge.  Too boot, a south wind and Friday traffice comng home on Howell Prairie Road with a time of 11:59

Number 10: 1Dec17 on Ken's Outside the Gates of (Multnomah Village), as we liked the route so much, and no high elevations to worry about bad weather. Got a time of 10:41

Number 11:  6Jan18: Ken's Mill City Coffee Run, a Saturday and very little wind.  Time of 11:59

Number 12:  10Feb18 Lynn'e Beaverton-Hagg Lk-Carlton permanent with many controls. Time of 12:07
