Downers Grove

JD_07DGpros008.jpgNot what I was looking for. It was a rain soaked day with heaps of crashes. I was sweet with 4 to go siting about 6th wheel when the guy in front of me lost his front wheel in the second to last corner. I kept it leaned over as he slid through the apex, with heaps of brake and using the guy as a stop I stayed up right. As I tried to pull away I couldn’t, something was stuck on my front wheel. As it turns out my QR was wrapped in his shorts and I was almost dragging him down the road as the field went by. Once I realized what was happening and it was too late and the bunch was by. I got back going again but was last wheel and figured the chances I would have to take getting back in the game and staying upright wasn’t gonna happen so I shut it down….
