Randonneurs USA is in mourning for one of our members. Dr. Bob Breedlove died on June 23rd in Colorado while competing in the 2005 Race Across America. In addition to being an accomplished long-distance racer, Bob Breedlove was a veteran randonneur and a finisher of four Paris-Brest-Paris events. A fine guy and fun to be around, he will be sorely missed. Randonneurs USA sends its heartfelt sympathies to Bob's family and friends.
