Which do you like better: Somerville or Quad Cities?
I have done neither race, so I cannot comment.
puts app gap to shame. ow.
Lots of DNF’s in the 3/4 Manville and Menci fields. Were there a lot of crashes?
Menci cat 3 race- the roads were wet, there was one crash. A women racer from Type 1 hit pole pretty hard, she may have broken something.
Somerville cat 3: That was a crash fest, 4 major ones
Those overall results may just parrot stage 3. For example, the overall winner in the 40+ was Fred Thomas by over a minute.
Overalls are just the stage 3 results. Bikereg has the real GC
