BTW, I got cut off from the first climb b/c of a rumor of a major accident/crash. Anyone hear about it? Bummer because some folks (not me) put up some serious times for the remaining three and am sure would like to see where they stood overall.
Hmm. When I was coming off of Buckberg (the first timed climb) near the end somebody behind me blew a tire. There were GF staff at the bottom and I yelling to them about the issue and yelling back up to the rider to see if he was OK. It's not clear if he crashed but I heard stuff scattering.
I wonder if that was the accident you are talking about.
