Recap/Results
I'll tell you! Throw in a 304 mile race with a 22 mph sustained crosswind and you have a cocktail for more sufferage than all but 9 could deal with. That's right...out of the 51 racers that started only 9 made it to Decorah. I wasn't one of them. Curiak wasn't one. Fassbinder wasn't one either. Even the great SoloGoat didn't make it! ~ Jeff KerKove
