Great Race, Weekend, and Time
I did not crash… A rock shoved my derailleur through my back wheel at 25mph, sheering off 8 spokes, discentrgrating my derailleur and breaking off my chain (not on a gold link).
I had to hike a bike out of the course and back down to Downieville Proper.
I crossed the finish line, but took a DNF on the overall.
Don - your A$$ is grass next race
