It was a big racing weekend, so today it's on to the Road Race.
Here's the very start of Dan's race as they cruise around the first corner.
And as they head out around and out of town.
Here comes Andy's group
And rounding the corner
And Michaela and I went straight to the town Brewery! Turns out we were too early, go figure. :) But, luckily the winery across the street opened up soon and we were able to do a little tasting and find a bottle of some tasty cherry wine to pass the time.
Dan's group making their first lap
A rather painful hill to climb, if you ask me!
Our delicious wine came from Hermannhof winery
During Andy's race, I took several videos, rather than pictures. After he finished, in 7th!, he came to meet us and had quite the injury... but a better story. Apparently he was really close to another rider, tires touched, and when they separated he got flung to the side, and into a mailbox! This mailbox just happened to be on a large metal pipe set in a concrete base - ouch!!
Luckily it wasn't as bad as it looked and wasn't too deep... but his jersey didn't fair so well.
Here are Dan and Michaela
Cheering on the Pros... first to start and last to finish...
And then... OUCH! This guy wiped out pretty bad. He did get up and finish the last, like, block to the finish, poor guy!
