{"raceId":10065635507,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"Leeston Cycling Handicap Showdown: Steve’s Surge \u0026 My Last-Minute Triumph! Christchurch, Canterbury ⛅","description":"Race Highlights:\n\n\t•\tOur ride kicked off beautifully from PMH, and as we approached Lincoln, a few more riders joined the fold, increasing the energy in our group.\n\t•\tTragedy struck early when David and Yancey had a collision. While Yancey managed to shake it off and continue, David needed to be taken away by his wife.\n\t•\tThe day was perfect for a race: the winds were gentle, and the sun shone brilliantly.\n\t•\tAs the race heated up, the three bunches of us riders came together.\n\t•\tAn interesting part of these races is the friendly wager Steve Caldwell and I have: the winner earns a beer at the end of the series.\n\t•\tSeeing Steve speed past me with only 200 meters left was a sight! But as luck would have it, an opportunity presented itself. A gap opened up in front of me with a couple of riders setting the pace. Riding their slipstream, I managed to overtake Steve in the dying moments of the race, securing my win.\n\t•\tAfter the adrenaline-filled race, a swift ride back was in order. We wrapped up the day with a cold beer at the local pub and a relaxing dinner back home.\n\nRace Outcome:\n\n\t•\tMe: 3 wins\n\t•\tSteve Caldwell: 1 win\n\nWeather Report: Scattered clouds, 17°C, and the wind was blowing 19km/h from ENE\n\n📈 aiendurance.com summary:\nExternal stress score:
