A short recap on the ultracycling.com site about one of the races I did this year. I never seem to do well in western Illinois/eastern Iowa. This one went well other than a collision. I felt great all day. Average speed was 22.22 for 210 miles. Even with a crash that required a wheel change.
Shortly after the start of the race Larry bumped my rear wheel going into a turn and somehow flipped his bike in the air. It became lodged sideways across the seat stays of my (new)bike. Luckily I didn’t crash, and managed to roll to a stop while carrying his bike. Wish i had a picture of it. It took us a few minutes to figure out how to disentangle the 2 frames, however my rear wheel did not come out of it injury free. I nursed it through the rest of the 50 mile lap. Larry and John Schlitter were nice enough to wait for me while i did a wheel change and than helped me back to the lead pack.
