Ah! Thanks Mellisa. I was in the front group right behind the pickup truck
at the start and never got passed on the course, so I was really confused
at the finish when all these guys finished in front of me that weren't in
the first group. Doh! Next time I guess I'll look at the signs a little
more carefully.
Also, my son riding in the juniors got lost, although he's not a native
English speaker so it's a little harder for him to read the signs on the
fly.
