Rain continued until this AM. We rode our bikes to the 37 mile point on course to see the Cat 3's pass and then to Finish. Really cold as it was about 40F, 10 mph winds and dark/overcast skies. You might have thought you were in Belgium here today!
Our friend Rod Millot of NYC, got about 40th. He said about 70 riders (original field was 150) hit the last climb at 56 miles and it broke into 3 groups.......said it was a very slow race.
Some crashes, as dirt was very wet, but not so many. Course was very slow as riders said the dirt was like pedaling in molasses.
All in all the racers appeared warm as they were scantily dressed. The town was loaded with people. There was a field finishing about 10 minutes so it was pretty exciting. We returned home and turned on the heater.
More to come!
