    1. Holy cow Project Echelon 1,2,3!!! Letsgoooo

      When the rain changed the entire race dynamics !

      Wonder if anyone used rain tires to make a difference, but sucks how you can have grip at one moment and then zero at the next in a corner.

    2. A friend of mine used to race with John Frey, Kent Bostick, and that whole scene and he told me about a crit where Bostisaurus (Bostick) took off as it started raining and got ahead of the peleton, and he was sliding through corners until he would slide into a curb and would then use the curb to pop back up and continue riding straight. Remarkable bike handling skills for either the late 70s or early 80s (not exactly sure when). Those guys were beasts. John Frey held the 3rd fastest World Hour Record for many years. It was fascinating to listen to my friend’s stories.
