John Bayley overcomes a dreary day of racing, numerous doubts and some tired legs to take the win in the Masters 35 field at the Quabbin Reservior Road Race.
The rain and undesirable weather had reduce the field to 60 riders. John missed an earlier break and suffered a dropped chain and lost a water bottle due to the rough, chattering roads. And, just as the roads began to dry it started to drizzle again.
Approaching the finish, a chase group of about 30 riders finally closed down the break, swallowing up the last riders. A series of attacks and responses put John at the front of the now, lead group heading into the finish. Apparently, his legs weren’t as tired as he thought, because he gapped the field and soloed across the line.
Awesome Job!
