They also went down hard during the race. If not for that, some say they may have had a chance at the overall victory.

40 off road? freaks of nature.
We have a female rider here, I think she's our regional TT champ some time ago, can take a pull for two to three miles holding the pace at just right above 30mph. She's a tall, not slender by any means, person. When she gets going, the fierce pace is scary. She suffers a little on the hills, but still put a lot of young men to shame on those rollies. Have her and someone really strong on a tandem and just watch other's fade away. There is no way I can take do tempo up front at that speed. Taking a long pull, no problem, but anything over 1/2 mile I am done for.
