I worked an event recently that will be remembered by the riders for years . It took place during remnants of hurricane Ian with gusts of 50 MPH. This annual fundraiser offered distances of 100, 50 and 35 miles. Because of the high winds, the Army Corps of engineers, closed the 165 ft tall Bourne Bridge to pedestrians and bikes.That necessitated dropping the 35 mile option, which changed to 100 and 50 mile routes to 65 and 40 miles. Four hundred riders signed up but only 168 rode this day. The majority of the drop outs were the more casual bikers who were doing the 35 mile section. Slowly the group of 90 cyclists doing the 40 miles that I was filming, gradually spread out and by the 20 mile mark, most were riding solo or with one or two others. That forced this video to have as much interviews as riding. Sometimes we have to improvise.
