Member Highlights
Member Highlight: Javier Castellar
It’s a huge honor to introduce my favorite DPMR member, Javier Castellar. Without a doubt, his support from day one has been essential in both the founding of the club and the creation of our signature race, the Castle Peak 100k. It’s not always easy being “Mr. Helen Pelster,” but he bears it well, always […]
