Race report
This is just a beast of the beasts. Great weather here. The Icee delivered just 500 feet below the top of the final climb was awesome. Frozen flavored ice in the middle of nowhere!
Rode as a group of Chinook riders. Headwind going westbound. Just a spit of good rain for about four miles leaving Lyle. Gravel and pavement conditions were perfect. Welcome tailwind coming home made the last ten miles seem like less.
A cooler than normal GF Ellensburg. And the cool was nice.
Two hours of dry, then the sky opened up. Descent into Lyle required a hand in front of the face to shield it from the driving rain. One of my best rides.
Working together with John, who was having a tough second half. Weather was the best seen for GFE.
Great weather for GFG. Moderate headwind from the East on the return.
