I was really pushing hard having one of the best bike rides I have ever had. Then came mile 12, my left crank fell off while I was going about 22 mph causing some concern for a few breif seconds. I waited on the side of the road for about 10-15 minutes. During this time 3 fellow racers stopped to help! The last one, racer 96 left me with the tool I needed to get back in the race. Thanks agian to racer 96, 41 and another whoms number I did not get. And thanks to the gal that sent her brother back to lend a hand!
