It was one of those days when I looked at the radar on my I-pad every hour to find out how the evening race might fare. Much cooler temperatures and the possibility of thundershowers steered most away. Also, unknown to me, (I need to read my bikeiowa e-mails) a time trial on Sunday, took a few of my regulars. That's my vent part.
Nevertheless, those who did race with questionable evening skies looming seemed happy to be there. YES happy to be there, and all did well. Some took great lengths to attend. One flying in (on a plane) just hours prior, a few riding down from Iowa City, and most just rushing post work in their cars to get there on time, registered and warmed up. Thank you.
65 degrees, slight drizzle and stronger evening winds, ever changing, pushing in a shower is what our conditions were. Here is what we did given that:
