Heiser Farms Grand Island Road Race, 3/16/2013, Dayton, Oregon
Filmed & Produced by Effie Siverts
This was Effie’s 1st road race! And the conditions were downright gnarly. Huge wind gusts, pelting rain, and cow manure. It felt just like a Cyclocross race… and the training sure paid off. Lots of lessons learned about drafting and staying with the pack.
And we’re not certain exactly what happened, maybe crazy road vibrations and a GoPro don’t mix, but 1.5 laps into the race the mounting arm to the GoPro sheared off and the camera went flying. End of footage – and the delay to retrieve it cost me my drafting partner so I had to finish the last 2.5 laps chasing her tail. But I finished! Exhausted, soaked, and smiling! What a crazy first race.
