Maryland Cycling Classic UCI 1.1
Definitely not the race recap I was hoping to post, but cycling is a cruel sport sometimes.
Last weekend made a quick trip down to Baltimore for the Bike Race with her team. This is "America’s Top One-Day Pro Cycling Race". The field was loaded with National Champions, Olympians, and World Tour riders. This event was a class act through & through, thanks to everyone for such a great event!
Unfortunately Dylan's race came to an early end after a crash (swipe for the video). After some quick repairs she was back on the bike, trying to get back to the group. Unfortunately, her brakes were damaged in the crash and when she tried slowing, she was left with a hand full of brake fluid & no brakes. That was it, any chances of the good result I know she wanted, were gone, left with the feeling of "what could have been" & a lot broken kit that need repair or replacement before heading to Tour de Gatineau in a week and the Netherlands after that for Gravel Worlds.
On a positive note, she was in the lead group when the crash happened and now she knows that she can definitely ride with those top women. Her day will come.
I want to take this chance to thank everyone who has donated to help get Dylan to the Gravel World Championships. Your generosity and support is overwhelming and truly means the world to us. If you would like to help further, please share the link and spread the word
