That Madera, So Hot Right Now

Literally. High temps took their toll after a strong start in the first stage for Brianne and Holly. Both placed second in the criterium, Brianne in the w 1/2, Holly in the 35+ field. Great job ladies. Further details and reports on the time trial and road race stages coming soon.

Best wishes to Hernandez and any other riders caught in the heat wave.

welcome...one of the scariest things I've seen at a bike race was a teammate in the throes of heat exhaustion/stroke, glad to hear you're ok.

...a boiled braincase..reminds of the old anti drug "this is your brain" commercials...except it should be "this is your brain", "this is your brain at Madera" with a pcitrure of an egg frying on the sidewalk!
