Matthew O'Neill Memorial Ride

[K T Huber]

To all of you who knew Matthew O'Neill, there will be a memorial ride on Sunday, August 11, the tenth anniversary of his tragic death. Matthew was one of the important driving forces in the early years of PCH Randonneurs- a ride leader, route designer, rando enthusiast, and wonderful riding companion to all who knew him. He was killed when hit by a farm truck and trailer while riding on the inaugural 3CR 1200k.

The memorial ride will be a RUSA permanent, the new Mandalay Beach 106k, route #5146. This is a flat, coastal route which should be perfect for a hot August day. Since this is a permanent, you should register via the RUSA website, not on the PCH website. We will start the ride at 7:30am.

This ride will be at a fun, social pace and there will be food involved. Greg, Lisa, and Kerin are still working out the details. Let us know if you plan on being there.
