Stetina won in a sprint. Coutney won by several miles. I pulled the ripcord after the first climb and rode back to the start, as the pain in my back was not better, and I had no desire to ride for 5 hours with that much pain. My wife's mentee (They pair high school girls with pros and other people who are talented racers - my wife wins or gets a podium in here age group, at every race...until today), won the HS race...but my wife flatted and couldn't plug, and didn't bring a tube that worked with a 50mm rim (glad she did it today, and not at Unbound. Lesson learned), so she had to wait for an hour and fifteen minutes until someone arrived with a tube that worked, so no placing gor her. All in all a great weekend, because Ukiah is really pretty this time of year.
No, 50mm deep. She needed a tube with a long valve stem or an extender, and she had neither.
Better to learn that lesson at Low Gap than in the middle of the Unbound flint hills where support is miles away
Doing it again, next Sunday. Glad they changed the course this year, and stopped using that initial road climb. That climb would be fine, if it were 10 miles in, instead of heading straight the **** up, a mile after the start.
