a few riders finish their laps


to those not racing the statistics from the finish are a priority
to those involved in the event
the focus is something different

competitive
but not the main focus
a gathering of friends

I am sure that people are pleased with their efforts
pleased to have the hills behind them

it was a clearly a great night to be out on the bike

in the back of their minds... they know where they stand
they know the standings
