Small world. The guy that took 12th, Chuck Gibson, is a good friend of mine. His report to me this morninghis office is about 30 feet from mine, was that the group of riders that finished 5-13th made a big mistake after the second climb and drilled it to catch the group of 4 and ride through the feed zone with lance and Wiens. Of course they all were ditched on the next climb. Chucky said because of that effort he was continually fighting blowing up and he was stupid for joining the guys that were drilling.
He has finished as high as fourth and about 10 minutes faster than this time. He said I should sign up for next year. I just laughed and walked away.
