Wind doping.
Just like The Heck of the North, we had perfect conditions on 2017
Filthy 50. Light headwinds on the start of the course when we were in big groups and fresh. By the time we got to the back half of the course, the wind had picked up and gave us a great push to the finish. I recall drafting a tandem (great for drafting
) but they were able to ride away from me cause I was spinning out on flat roads at 25 mph (I need a bigger chainring). The first place rider set a course record at 2:20 - nearly 22 mph over 50+ miles of gravel roads
