Dear Plymouth Peak Fliers and Followers,
Hello everyone, this is Derik Alder. I joined Brad Hoggan five years ago as co-loft manager of Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge. Brad approached me with an offer to be a partner in this race, and eventually buy the business and take it over. He was at a point in his life where family and other endeavors needed more time and attention. Ultimately that meant that it was time to slow down with the birds. Pigeon racing as we all know, when done right, takes a great deal of time and effort. Anyone who knows or has dealt with Brad knows that he has more than put his time in and has been very dedicated to this sport for over 30 years. He has given more than he has taken. 2022 was our last year as a partnership of Plymouth Peak. I have bought the race from Brad and I am now the sole owner and operator.
I would like to thank Brad for the opportunity to pursue my passion and hobby and make it more of a lifestyle. I would also like to thank him for all the time he has spent passing on all the valuable information on successfully running a one loft race. I really look up to Brad and I am very thankful for his friendship.
With that being said, I am looking forward to the 2023 race season. We relocated the loft to my house here in Preston, Idaho last year. I am very pleased at how the 2022 races went. We had good trying races, and still had good returns. I am in the process of getting the website updated and the 2023 race schedule nailed down. So stay tuned to see any changes coming to the Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge. You can now reserve perches for next year. We will be accepting birds starting February 15th.
See you in 2023
Sincerely,
