Many of you will know the name Charlene Barach (aka Charlene Burwood or "Machka") from Manitoba. She rode RM1200 in 2002 and the Flèche in 2004. She regularly writes about her touring and randonneuring adventures - some will be familiar with her RM1200 and PBP 2003 stories. There are two new ones from 2004 - her Manitoba 1000 and her Great Southern Randonnée (Australia, 1200 km). Note the BC content at GSR: photos of Scott Gater and Melissa too! Thanks to Ken Bonner for pointing us to these pages. [Eric F - January 2005]
