Jeff Kerkove was at the front of the race all the way to the beginning of the Georgia pass climb. Something changed abruptly, and he has ascended at walking speed.
Something broken on his bike, drivetrain related? Major bummer, I am rooting for him big time.
So let's say you do have a catastrophic bike issue on top of Georgia pass at 6pm. Do you:
1. Bomb straight into Breckendridge via the road in the hopes of getting a repair before everything closes up, knowing you have to climb back up to the pass afterwards?
2. Stay the course, walking the ups and coasting the downs (assuming coasting is doable), hitting hwy 9 about midnight, sleep till morning and get your bike fixed?
3. Same as 2, but since you can't ride much of 10 mile anyway, just keep hoofing all the way to copper mtn and hope you can find a bike shop in the morning that can fix you up?
I hope that isn't his conundrum, but it doesn't look good.
