Bummer. Well, he'd planned to do a bunch of doubles with our group early in the year but ended up with pneumonia. He probably hadn't quite gotten enough time to train after being so sick.

Thanks for the info. I can't imagine the course in such heat. The day we did the second half we couldn't have asked for better weather - sunny and cool, not bad wind.

Did Cat Berge finish? Kitty Gourselle? Rick and Anna Stewart (tandem)??

TT is the last double in the stage race. I wonder how that will end up - very good field of folks this year.
